Team Summit Colorado will induct four extraordinary individuals into its Wall of Fame as the Class of 2026. The honorees represent alpine skiing, freeskiing, Nordic skiing, and snowboarding, and each has made a lasting impact on their sport and the Summit County community.
Tiania Tutt Adams – Alpine Skiing
Former U.S. Ski Team athlete Tiania Tutt Adams built one of the most respected coaching careers in American ski racing. After competing for the U.S. Ski Team, the University of Colorado, and the Women’s Professional Ski Tour, she dedicated more than 40 years to athlete development.
Throughout her coaching career, Adams guided generations of athletes across Colorado and Vermont. She held leadership roles at Team Summit, Ski Club Vail, Team Monarch, Summit High School, and the Telluride Ski and Snowboard Club, where she earned a reputation as a mentor, leader, and advocate for athlete growth.
Ian Borgeson – Freeskiing
Ian Borgeson helped define the early era of big mountain skiing and became the first Team Summit athlete to qualify for the Freeride World Tour, the highest level of freeride competition in the world.
Borgeson began his career in moguls and slopestyle before helping drive the progression of freeskiing with some of the sport’s earliest double corks and switch 1080s. In 2014, he finished seventh overall on the Freeride World Tour, highlighted by a runner-up finish at the iconic Verbier Finals in Switzerland. His creativity, innovation, and fearless approach helped establish Summit County as a powerhouse in big mountain skiing.
Jon “Zeke” Zdechlik – Nordic Skiing
Lifelong Frisco resident Jon “Zeke” Zdechlik dedicated his life to Nordic skiing, community service, and outdoor recreation. He competed on the U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team and skied collegiately at the University of Vermont before returning home to help shape Summit County’s Nordic landscape.
Zdechlik played a key role in developing and leading many of the region’s most important Nordic programs and facilities, including the Frisco Nordic Center and Frisco Adventure Park. Through decades of coaching, mentoring, and civic leadership, he inspired countless young athletes and became one of Summit County’s most cherished ambassadors for Nordic skiing and outdoor recreation.
Elise Sather Radebaugh – Snowboarding
As one of Team Summit’s inaugural snowboard athletes, Elise Sather Radebaugh helped establish competitive snowboarding in the United States.
She captured multiple USASA National titles, a Junior World Championship, and a spot on the USASA National Team while competing at the highest levels of the sport. By 1995, she ranked third overall in North America and sixth in the world as a professional snowboarder. Her achievements helped create opportunities for future generations of snowboard athletes.
“The Wall of Fame honors individuals whose accomplishments, leadership, and dedication have shaped Team Summit and the sports we love,” said Rodney Robinson, Team Summit Colorado’s director of development. “This year’s inductees represent excellence in competition, coaching, community service, and innovation. Their impact continues to inspire athletes today.”
The Team Summit Wall of Fame recognizes athletes, coaches, and contributors whose achievements have elevated snow sports in Summit County and beyond. Since its inception, the Wall of Fame has celebrated the pioneers, champions, and leaders who built Team Summit’s legacy.
Team Summit will welcome the Class of 2026 during its Homecoming Weekend celebration, where alumni, families, athletes, and community members will gather to honor the inductees and celebrate the organization’s history.
