Patroller of the Year - Keith Church
Recognized for his work as Senior Advisor and Avalanche and OEC instructor.

An oxymoron award for Dave. He may crab, but he can always be depended on to be there for you.
Honorary Service Award - Frank DeLeo
OEC instructor, OEC advisor, OEC Instructor Trainer, Co-Director, Region OEC Administrator. Too much to put here.
Toilet Bowl Award - Jeremy Warne
Before Jeremy got into the handles, no one realized a toboggan could be made to do this sort of thing.
Lifetime Achievement Award - Robert, Jodi and Johanna Bible
