Alpine June Newsletter

The Alpine Program is off to a strong start! We have FIS athletes working out 3 days a week in the gym and in our amazing backyard! Spring/Summer in Jackson provides unless opportunity for dryland workouts for the athletes! We also have groups heading off to on snow training camps over the summer in Switzerland and beyond! 

Alpine Graduates:

Congratulations to all our JHSC Alpine Seniors who will be pursuing the next steps of life after high school! Taylor Moe, Jaden D’Amours and Lucy Wirth are all moving on next year! We are incredibly proud of the accomplishments these individuals were able to achieve during their time at JHSC! Every one of them have been with the club for 8-10 years which is a large majority of their lives. We look forward to the adventure and successes that await! JHSC thanks you for all the hard work, dedication, and time you have spent representing us over the years!  

Alpine NEW Hires 26-27 season

Alpine Program Director - We are excited to announce that JHSC has hired Jon Souter to fill Kristin Waddle’s position as Alpine Program Director for years to come! With being a previous Head Coach, a school teacher for 10 years, a deep passion for Snow King and lifelong love of ski racing, Jon will be a great fit for the director role! 

Head FIS Coach – We are also excited to have Matt Hoffman coming to us from Buck Hill in MN to run the FIS team this coming season and seasons to come! He comes to us having a deep knowledge of strength & conditioning and with many years of FIS coaching experience! We are lucky to have him foster and grow our FIS athletes and the program for years to come! 

Summer Ski Camps:

JHSC is hosting an amazing camp in Saas Fee, Switzerland for our U14’s! Thank you to Head coach Jamie Stone for organizing and planning this experience for our athletes! Camp is from July 28-August 8, we have coaches Jamie Stone, Dani Larriu and Teagan Santin attending to provide a productive and fun camp for these athletes! 

There are many options for summer ski camps for athletes to go to, but we are excited to continue to offer options our JHSC athletes!

US Ski & Snowboard License:

In order to compete in Intermountain Division races all athletes are required to have a USSS license. The 26-27 ski season technically starts July 1^st, I would recommend purchasing your license over the summer to check one thing off the list! ALL coaches and board members need a USSS license as well which require more time commitment to complete the process.

Note from Kristin:

I want to say Thank you to everyone from years past and currently at JHSC! You have been a huge part of my life for 14 years and I am very grateful to be a part of the JHSC family with all of you! I truly appreciate the experiences, life lessons, connections, and incredible people! I met several of my best friends through this club and that is something I will cherish my whole life! The sport of ski racing is remarkable in so many ways, especially in a town with deep roots in skiing like Jackson! It was an honor to have been able to lead this program at Jackson Hole Ski & Snowboard Club and be a part of history at the oldest non profit in Jackson. Thank you!
