MMSC welcomes Harlow as new J3 coach

The Club is happy to welcome Christopher "Topher" Harlow as our new head J3 coach.

He will lead an experienced staff of coaches, directing daily training and maintaining communication between parents and athletes.

Harlow was head ski coach last year at Plymouth (N.H.) State University, his alma mater; he was assistant coach for two years before that. Last winter, his men’s team won the Eastern Regional combined Alpine championship, and the men’s and women’s alpine teams both finished fourth overall at the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association national championships.

He's worked extensively with junior racers as a coach at the U.S. Elite Camps at Mt. Hood and Copper Mountain for the past three years.

Harlow was a seven-time All-American ski racer in college. He was runner-up in the combined at the Eastern Regional Championships in 2004 and placed third in the combined in 2006.

“We are really excited to welcome Topher to our coaching staff,” said MMSC athletic director Chip Knight. “He's had coaching success within the team structure of college skiing, personal experience competing at a high level, and displays a heartfelt love of the sport — all of which will be valuable attributes for leading our J3 program.”

Welcome, Topher!
