Kat grew up deeply immersed in ski racing at Gunstock Ski Club, later transitioning to Gould Academy near Sunday River for high school, where she passionately participated in both the USSA and FIS circuits. Her ski racing journey took her far beyond local competitions, offering incredible opportunities to traverse New England, the United States, and the world with frequent trips to Europe and the Western United States. Drawing from the guidance of influential coaches in her formative years, Kat attributes her success to the invaluable lessons that skiing is not just a sport but a lifelong passion filled with profound life lessons. Excited to be part of others' ski journeys, Kat looks forward to sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm.

Genevieve grew up with parents that thankfully dragged her to New England from the mid Atlantic year after year to learn to ski at a young age. She continued to pursue her passion for skiing out west during her collegiate years in Colorado and subsequent residence in Jackson Hole  before settling in New Hampshire. Her husband Robbie is the PPST program director who threw her head first into the world of NH ski racing and Pats Peak where his family has been a foothold for many years.  They have 2 boys who learned to ski at Pats; Peter a (U14), and Wyatt a (U12) who are now avid racers. 

Connor grew up skiing at Pats Peak and joined the program as a racer when he turned 8. He continued racing for Pats Peak for 10 years before pursuing an education in physics at WPI. During his time at WPI, Connor set his sights on a career of teaching high school physics and coaching for youth athletics. While at school, Connor would return home and help coach at Pats Peak during his winter breaks. Last year Connor started his first year of coaching full-time in the winter working with the U-10s. When he's not out on the hill, Connor likes to spend his free time staying active outdoors and reading. During the warmer months he is an avid hiker and rower. Regardless of the season or activity, you can count on Connor to bring a book with him, and he's always eager to talk about books and constantly looking for new recommendations.
