2026 Sunday River President's Awards
From the first chair of the season to the last run of spring, Sunday River is a place people return to year after year. Families grow up here. Skiers find their confidence here. And behind every one of those moments is a team that takes pride in making them happen.
Our Culture
At Sunday River, our team culture is driven by L.E.A.D.S., which stands for: Long-Term Thinking, Excellence in Execution, Attitude is Everything, Develop Great People, and Serve Others First.
These five values aren't just something we put on paper. They shape how our team shows up every day and across every department on the mountain.
Our Values
We are fortunate to have an incredible team at Sunday River, and each year, we take a moment to recognize a handful of individuals who have made a lasting impression on the people around them.
The President's Awards honor those who set the standard for excellence, lead with integrity, and inspire those around them. What makes this recognition so meaningful is how recipients are chosen.
Each recipient is selected through a process that includes both resort leaders and peers. To be nominated and recognized by the people you work alongside every day is something special, and we are proud to celebrate this year's recipients.
