Team Summit Colorado has announced the four athletes that will join its Wall of Fame as the class of 2026.
A ceremony will honor the inductees on June 26 at 6 p.m. at the Rosener Human Performance Center at Copper Mountain.
“The Wall of Fame honors individuals whose accomplishments, leadership and dedication have shaped Team Summit and the sports we love,” said Rodney Robinson, the director of development for Team Summit, in a recent press release. “This year’s inductees each represent excellence in competition, coaching, community service and innovation. Their impact continues to inspire athletes today.”
Inducted posthumously for her excellence in alpine skiing is Tiania Tutt Adams. Adams skied for the University of Colorado Boulder, the US Ski Team and the Women’s Professional Ski Tour. Her professional career was followed by years of coaching and mentorship across Colorado, including with Team Summit and Summit High School.
Also being posthumously honored is Nordic skier Jon Zdechlik. Zdechlik, a lifelong Frisco resident, competed with the US Nordic Combined Ski Team, as well as the University of Vermont. He later helped to develop numerous Nordic programs throughout Summit County, including the Frisco Nordic Center.
The final skier to be inducted is freeskier Ian Borgeson, largely due to his efforts as a trailblazer in big mountain skiing. Borgeson was the first Team Summit athlete to qualify for the Freeride World Tour and is known for his early mastery of double corks and switch 1080s.
One lone snowboarder — Elise Sather Radebaugh — will round out the class of 2026. Radebaugh is a multiple-time United States of America Snowboard and Freeski national champion, as well as a junior world champion. In the 1990s, she was ranked the third overall professional snowboarder in North America and sixth overall in the world.
