New Assistant Coach Ian Hubbard

We've hired a new assistant coach!  Ian Hubbard is a 2004 graduate of St. Lawrence, where he majored in biology and history and was a member of the nordic ski team.  Since graduating, Ian has worked as a trail designer, sled dog guide, carpenter, and environmental technician, among other jobs.  He has also held a variety of educational and leadership positions, leading numerous outdoor trips for the Chewonki Foundation and teaching history at Carrabassett Valley Academy.  Most recently, he served as director of the ALPS outdoor leadership program at CVA.  Ian's ski racing experience and educational background are a great combination, and I'm excited to see what kind of new ideas and perspectives he'll bring to our team!
