Virginia, a native of Wolfeboro and ski team alum, has been “riding the rope” at Abenaki since the age of three. She is excited to continue her coaching career this season with the U8s. When not hitting the slopes, she attends Berwick Academy in South Berwick, Maine where she is a sophomore.

Gordon is a volunteer coach for the Abenaki ski team. After college from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota Gordon moved to Vail, Colorado for eighteen years as an owner operator of a successful restaurant in Vail and chasing Colorado powder whenever he had time. Starting a family prompted a move to Wolfeboro, New Hampshire where he now lives with his wife and their three children, two dogs and several chickens. Gordon operates Garwoods Restaurant, his family's business on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, and serves on the Abenaki Outing Club's Board of Directors.

Walton learned to ski in northwestern Connecticut on a town-operated rope tow like Abenaki and switched to telemark gear in high school and to backcountry skiing in college. Now that he has three daughters on the Abenaki team, he realizes 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.

Henry Hudson is a Wolfeboro local who spent many years ski racing before transitioning into coaching Abenaki’s U8 team. He loves being part of Abenaki because of the welcoming people and strong sense of community that make it such a special place!

Having grown up racing at Abenaki, Emma is now entering her fifth year as a coach on the hill. Abenaki has always held a special place in her heart, which she credits to its welcoming atmosphere and close-knit community. Emma loves the opportunity to give back to the mountain that helped shape her own racing experience and is passionate about creating a fun, positive, and memorable experience for the next generation of Abenaki racers!
