Sam (Samantha) Emmett is Norda's Speed Racer

Sam Emmett took to the race course this year for her first ski racing season. Sam joined the Snow Basin Alpine Ski Team and raced the Intermountain South Series. At age 15, racing as a first year J-2, Sam finished strong with several podium finishes including 1st overall at the South Series Championships on her home course at Snow Basin, Utah with Gold Medal SL and GS races.

Sam was awarded "Rookie of the Year" for the SnowBasin Alpine Ski Team. Other accomplishments include solid finishes at a number of JO qualifying races including a 69 point finish on the GS course to help qualify her for the Western Region FIS Finals, Park City, Utah. Another highlight for Sam was racing at the Loveland Derby, Colorado with strong finishes to end the year on a positive note. Nicely done Sam!
