Magnus Boee - Annual Award - Collegiate Skier of the Year 2021

One of the most important annual celebrations of the state’s snow sports industry, the Colorado Snowsports Hall of Fame induction, is on tap for Sunday, August 22 at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. For the next several weeks leading up to the 2021 Hall of Fame Celebration, the CSM will be highlighting inductees and annual award recipients. Tickets for the event are on sale HERE.

Colorado’s Magnus picked up the largest of his many awards in April, following a spectacular sophomore season, earning the National Men's Nordic Skier of the Year by the United States Collegiate Ski Coaches Association.

Magnus had the most dominant season in CU history for men's Nordic skiers, winning 10 of 12 races and finishing third and fourth in the other two. His 10 wins matches the CU record for a men's skier and is the record for men's Nordic skiers by two wins.

Magnus had a streak of five straight wins in the regular season and won six of eight regular season races before sweeping both the Regional and NCAA Individual Championships in the postseason. He became just the fifth skier in CU history to sweep regional and national races. Magnus and former Buff Mads Storem are the only two men's Nordic skiers to also sweep the NCAA Championships races.

For his exploits this past season, he has also been honored with two RMISA MVP honors, picking up the award for both classic and freestyle, was first-team All-RMISA and the top seed at the NCAA Championships in both disciplines. He earned RMISA Skier of the Week honors for the first meet of the season and picked up CU Athlete of the Week honors four times.
