The 2013 winner
of the Mitch Kaplan Memorial Award for Excellence in Snowsports Coverage is
longtime NASJA member Jules Older.
Older is a
writer, videographer, broadcaster, speaker, consultant, editor and multiple
winner of NASJA's Harold S. Hirsch journalism awards.
For 12 years
Older was editor-in-chief of Ski Press Canada and Ski Press USA. His
commentaries have been broadcast on Vermont Public Radio and on KALW and KQED
in San Francisco. He is Radio New Zealand's "IT Guy in San
Francisco," contributing editor at Vermont Business Magazine and, until

and dedication of Mitch Kaplan, a long time freelance writer and photographer
and former NASJA Secretary Treasurer, who died in 2010.
First established
in 1963 as the U.S. Ski Writers’ Association, the North American Snowsports
