This year, the Award is being expanded to recognize six standout snowmaking crews, rather than individuals as in previous years, from mountain resorts across North America. The common thread among past “I AM” nominees was teamwork. This new twist further emphasizes the importance of the team and camaraderie in the snowmaking profession.

Similar to the past two years, the 2016 contest will be hosted on SAM's website and showcase the teams, starting in January 2016. Voting begins in March, after the last of the team profiles has been completed, and the winners will be announced in April 2016.
