The Alpine Program Director from 1986-2000, Scott Bowdler oversaw a period of exponential growth in participation at all age levels. Scott led several key advances that grew JHSC from a local race program into a strong contender in the IMD Western Region: he built up the JHSC coaching roster with accomplished former NCAA racers, and he and his staff worked with the Intermountain Division, the Western Region, and the US Ski Team to boost the Jackson alpine racing scene. His own coaching expertise inspired and enabled a generation of JHSC athletes to reach national prominence. Scott also led the development of the new JHSC headquarters in the Snow King Center that replaced the old log shelter—adding offices, athlete facilities, and a race room and timing area that significantly upgraded Intermountain Division races. He was instrumental in running the race requirements and on-hill course development for the US National Alpine Championships in Jackson in 2000, which propelled Jackson Hole into the national spotlight.
