Next month, the world will turn its attention to the Winter Olympic Games, a powerful celebration of excellence, perseverance, and years of dedicated preparation. For our community, this moment carries special pride as we celebrate three CVA athletes competing on the world’s biggest stage.
CVA alum Sam Morse ’13 and Big Dog Nate Pare will make their Olympic debut representing Team USA, while CVA alum Liam Moffatt ’15 returns to the Olympic stage with Team Canada for his second Games. Their journeys reflect what is possible when talent is matched with commitment, resilience, and the right environment.
Many have said that if you can train at Sugarloaf, you can make it anywhere. Watching our athletes reach this level makes that sentiment ring especially true. World-class training venues, demanding terrain, and variable conditions challenge our students daily and prepare them to perform under pressure, adapt to adversity, and lead with confidence.
At CVA, that preparation extends beyond the mountain. Through rigorous academics, mentorship, and a community that values character as much as performance, we prepare students not only for success in sport but for meaningful lives beyond competition.
As our student-athletes train, learn, and push themselves this winter, we hope they find inspiration in these Olympic moments. Sam, Nate, and Liam embody the courage to pursue ambitious goals, and we are proud to cheer them on and grateful to be part of a community that prepares young people to thrive on the world’s greatest stages, in sport and in life.
With gratitude,
Alex
