Morgan Shute launching herself to her second USASA National Championship title in Ski Cross.
At just 16 years old, Carrabassett Valley Academy’s Morgan Shute is proving to be the rising star in the world of Ski Cross. In 2023, Shute won USASA Nationals Open Class, the US National Ski Cross title, and earned a 2nd place finish in the Nor-Am Ski Cross 22/23 standings. Since 2015, Shute has been working her way up the USASA to Olympics pipeline. Starting out as a Grom in her local USASA Adirondack Series, she honed her skills and her love for ski cross. In 2021, Morgan decided to take her Ski Cross training to the next level by attending CVA, to pursue her Olympic and World Cup dreams. At CVA, Shute has had the opportunity to work closely with Ski Cross Head Coach, Mike Phelan, and Assistant Coach, Brighton Bradford, both of whom were instrumental in helping her earn her first Nor-Am victory at Gore Mountain, NY in January.
“Winning my first Nor-Am was probably one of the best feelings I have had in a while. It was a mix of happiness and validation of all the hard work and determination I have put into the sport. Before that race, I had watched my teammate and best friend take a very traumatic hit to the head that left her motionless. It was hard getting back on the course but I knew I had to do it for her. I was up against last year's Nor-Am overall athlete and girls who are twice my age. I pulled out of the gate and gave it my all. I was at my home mountain, Gore, where it all started back in 2015. It was very special to me that I could be racing there.”

Kiernan, a Rangeley, Maine native, decided to attend CVA in 2019 after skiing at his home mountain Saddleback and as he wanted to take his skiing to the next level. Since then, Kiernan has been working his way up in Maine Mountain Series competitions and in the past two years has competed on The Futures Tour finishing 1st and 2nd in Youth Men's Slopestyle at the Park City and Mount Snow Futures Tour stops in 2023.
