The Silver Dollar Derby trophy was awarded at the Mt. Rose race weekend between 1985 and 2002 to the man and woman with the fastest total combined time for the weekend races. Starting in 2003, the Mt. Rose trophy became the McKinney Cup.
The McKinney Cup is sponsored by Rees Palermo in recognition of the racing accomplishments of Tamara McKinney and in memory of members of her family - Steve, McLane, and Frances McKinney. The McKinney family started out skiing in Far West at Mt. Rose and became one of the most memorable ski racing families ever, higlighted by the success of Tamara and her World Cup accomplishments. The McKinney Cup is a perpetual trophy on display over the mantle of the fireplace in the Mt. Rose lodge. As with the traditional Mt. Rose Silver Dollar Derby which it succeeds, the McKinney Cup is awarded to the man and woman racer with the fastest total time for the entire weekend.
The 2022 McKinney Cup winners are Linda Crowell (W09) and Ara Papazian (M06). The winners each year, with the age class they competed in:
