Dear WVABBTS families,
We are saddened to share the news of the passing of Matthew Kovar, a longtime club member and friend of WVABBTS.
Matthew passed away on July 4th after a courageous battle with cancer. Many in our community will remember him as a constant presence on the hill, slipping courses, cheering from the finish, or engaged in a spirited conversation. His enthusiasm for the sport, and his dedication to son and all our athletes, reflected the best of what we hope to foster here.
Matthew’s life was deeply tied to skiing and the outdoors, including his own time as a WVBBTS racer and WVA student. His commitment carried through in his professional life and as a father, coach, and friend.
His family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Waterville Valley Black and Blue Trail Smashers through your choice of our giving opportunities (links to the left).
Our thoughts are with Sue, Kai, and all of Matthew’s family and friends.
