DCWST alpine team members Kara Opfer and Chase Desjardin were recently named the 2025 – 2026 Savage Squirrel Awardees. This is the highest honor DCWST bestows on members of the program. This Savage Squirrel Award, named after a combination of the race hill (Squirrel Cage) and and the original park (the Savage Terrain Park), is given annually the skiers and/or snowboarders who most embody the DCWST ethos of sportsmanship, positive attitude, athletic achievement, and an overall love of the sport. As model DCWST athletes the Savage Squirrel Awardees are not only recognized at the annual team banquet, but they also add their name to the Savage Squirrel helmet and have their names engraved on the Savage Squirrel plaque displayed in the Mulderig Training Center.
