Knight joins MMSC coaching staff

MMSC is excited to announce that Chip Knight has joined the MMSC Alpine coaching staff.

Chip brings a wealth of knowledge to us from his experience as a top-notch racer as well as familiarity with MMSC, where Chip came up through the ranks as a junior skier.

In addition to coaching on the hill, he'll help shape the club’s Long Term Athlete Career Plan – a project started by Igor Vanovac and Lorant Gudasz. Specifically, Chip will head the J2 program for men and women.

Though many of you already know Chip, some may not - so here's a brief bio. Chip, 33, grew up ski racing in Stowe at MMSC. He was a member of the U.S. Ski team for 13 years, he competed in three Olympic Games and saw lots of success on the World Cup circuit. In 2008, Chip graduated from Williams College, with a degree in History. During the 2008 season he was the assistant coach for the Williams College Alpine Ski Team.

Welcome back, Chip!
