Walton Green

Assistant Coach

Walton learned to ski in northwestern Connecticut on a town-operated rope tow like Abenaki and switched to telemark gear in high school and tobackcountry skiing in college.  Now that he has three daughters on the Abenaki team, however, he realizes that he will need to update his 80s vintage touring skis and leather boots if he wants to keep up. He divides his time between Wakefield, NH and Boston, MA where he does research on ancient plants and plant ecosystems. When he is not on the snow, he is happy to make do with ice, grass, dirt, or water, as long as he can be outdoors.
