Long known as the Oscars of sports, the ESPY awards were first handed out in 1993 to recognize individual and team achievement. The awards have gone from a niche group of basketball, baseball, football stars, to a celebrity- studded red-carpet event that now includes the top names in the snow sports industry.

This year, the Best Female Athlete category includes nominee and World Cup skier, Lindsey Vonn. Aspen’s own Gretchen Bleiler is in the running for the Best Female Action Sports Athlete, along with snowboard superstar Lindsey Jacobellis. The Best Male Action Sports Athlete category includes snowboarder Kevin Pearce, who is not surprisingly accompanied by the Flying Tomato himself, Shaun White.

For the past four years, the majority of the ESPY awards, with the exception of Lifestyle Achievement awards, have been fan nominated by online vote. This year is no exception.
