GREETINGS FROM GMVS FOUNDERS: AL AND JANE HOBART

Forty years.

It seems like forever and it seems like yesterday, since we sat in the sun at Mad River Glen and listened to Bill Moore and John Schultz suggest that we start a ski-racing academy.

We’ve spent the last few weeks searching alumni newsletters for interesting experiences to feature in the GMVS Fortieth Anniversary Book. amazing! Now in our seventies, it feels great to be reminded that we really did help found, back when we were hardly more than kids ourselves, a little school that has done great things- not only producing great athletes but also great people. So many of these alumni have been creative, selfless hard workers who are dedicated to their families, communities, and well beyond.

And we are reminded too of how lucky we’ve been to find the help we needed. It just began to appear. In 1973, there already were ski academies, but we wanted to make our mark with the most impressive academic resume, finding an MBA from Dartmouth, an MA graduate from Wellesley College and Brown, a Pure Math graduate from M.I.T., an economics major and his Middlebury College friend who actually had a Vermont teaching certificate; all of whom were willing to work hard at first for almost nothing. Then, somehow twelve wonderful (and trusting!) families with their kids and their high school assignments appeared in November ready to try us out. They were founders too.

Over the summer, an unknown baseball player named Doug Powell, who had only raced for a year in a weekend program, landed on our door-step. By the end of that first winter he was winning high-level Junior Eastern races. Eventually he became the best U.S. Ski Team downhill racer of the early 80s. another founder.

We made headway in skiing, but after a year or two we were beginning to think we needed a big-name racer or ski coach. One day, out of the blue, the highly respected and analytical top World Cup ski racer, Rick Chaffee, came to ask if he could help us. We hired him, and he contributed his knowledge of skiing at the top level, including some very astute observations on technique, great coaching, and his specialty, career counseling.

Because other ski academies seemed to attract the top technical event skiers, we soon began to emphasize our downhill training. Without serious recruiting we somehow managed to attract Chip, Tris, and Bucky Cochrane, from the backwoods of Maine. With the encouragement of their ski coach dad, they were totally committed downhill racers who had worked out their own well-conceived brutal training program that stimulated the whole school. Chip and Tris eventually won many World Cup downhill points for the U.S.

We could go on and on about our astonishing early good fortune: contractor Dick Brothers making an unsolicited offer to sell us our ideal campus just when we started to search; Dave and Cindy Gavett wanting to join us, coach, teach, and start a theater program; Glen Ellen’s Harvey Clifford needing a loan to put snowmaking on Inverness in return for letting us use it; parent Ed Fisher offering to fund-raise for and construct the Poma lift on Inverness; Jim Fredericks, the ideal cross-country coach, offering to start up a program that eventually put several kids on the US Ski Team, and finding Muffy Ritz to continue the program; parent Eugene Weiss agreeing to pay for half of the academic building and then escorting the senior spring trip to Eastern Europe and auschwitz, which he had survived; Charlie Brush, supervising the construction of the Doug Parker gym expansion; parent Larry Dickie (who ran the legal department for Pepsi), being willing to be Board Chairman of GMVS. These are only highlights. When we needed help, help seemed to magically materialize. So many kind and talented people have worked for GMVS and have been vastly influential in so many young lives. Of course we are privileged to have the “lifers,” Dave, Steve, Cindy, Alice, Randy, Jere, Adam and luc still with us, still deeply responsible for almost every moment of life here.

It would be impossible to mention everyone who has been important to the development of Mad acad/GMVS, because literally every student and every staff member has been important.

We are so grateful to you all for having taken the school from our hands and made it into the marvelous entity it is today.

Warm regards,al and Jane

WHAT’S NEW AROUND GMVS? LOTS!

FACILITIESThis fall, students returned to campus with many remodeled facilities. By far the most commented on and appreciated improvements are dormitory upgrades including new furniture, showers, toilets, sinks, wainscoting, and paint. The dormitories look wonderful!

The first floor of the Art Building is now a fully functioning class-room for the 7th Grade program and the upstairs was opened up to create a light and attractive class room space.

The science department also received a huge boost with the purchase of over $10,000 of new lab instruments and equipment.


KELLY BRUSH RACE ARENAIt just keeps on getting better! We added more snow making equipment and started pumping snow on November 5, 2012. We completed a new start building at the top of Inverness and a timing/finish building with a warming and video room at the top of the T-Bar.

Program Overview: The program’s goal is to “cultivate committed reflective leaders who will make a positive difference in the schools or agencies where they work, and who will influence the lives of all learners in a positive way. Our hope is to prepare leaders who can empower all members of our learning communities toward high standards and levels of personal achievement, mutual respect, and social responsibility.”

I am committed to embracing and modeling GMVS’ mission of “developing the whole person with a life-long love of learning.” Pursuing an M.Ed. in Educational leadership will not only strengthen my capacity to effectively lead the teaching faculty but will also provide the opportunity to engage in intellectual renewal. I have always believed that good teachers are most effective when they are actively engaged as learners themselves. I look forward to expanding my horizons and above all, to engaging in dialogue with colleagues who are equally passionate about education. I am driven by a vision of GMVS as a community that collaboratively engages in the ongoing process of reflection and inquiry with the express purpose of becoming a true learning community.

FACULTYalice Rodgers reports on going back to school for a second Masters in Educational leadership at the University of Vermont.

GMVS PRESENTS GODSPELL

Once again, Dave Gavett, Piero Bonamico and Cindy Mumford led the troupe through the annual alchemy of theater, as the Doug Parker Gym was transformed into a whirlwind of colors and movement through the performances of Godspell. The cast had the house tapping their feet, clapping their hands, and wiping tears from their cheeks. The music was phenomenal, and the dancing showed off the actors’ grace and athleticism in a flourish of precision and energy. It was a truly memorable three days of shows.

after a productive summer and fall, the Nordic team is revved up for snow. The five person team consists of three new members (Elliot Ketchel 8th, Ian Moore 11th, Maddy Pfeifer PG) and veterans heidi halvorsen and Devlin Shea.

The summer was filled with intensive training camps – here in Waitsfield and further afield. Our system of camps in Waitsfield provides consistent coach-athlete interactions and also allows others to be exposed to our program. heidi halvorsen attended three USST Camps in alaska, Utah and lake Placid – skiing alongside top juniors and reigning World Cup Champion Kikkan Randall.

This fall, we visited our sister school, Sportoberschule, in Northern Italy for the third year in a row. Intensive training, dramatic scenery, snow skiing, and cultural emersion meshed together to form a truly magical experience.

It’s almost time for our next on snow camp – where we will visit Sun Valley, West yellowstone and Bozeman. Athletes will be training at altitude and taking part in the first Super Tour races of the season. Stay tuned to our blog for what promises to be an exciting season.

The alpine program is well on its way to a successful 2012-2013 ski season. On-snow preparation began back in June and July at our annual Mount hood camps, with training efforts focused largely on skill acquisition, and particular attention to GS techniques and tactics. Mount Hood offers ideal terrain for line work, and the conditions this year were excellent. also, here in Vermont, local athletes benefited from weekly conditioning workouts with the alpine coaching staff.

a highlight of our pre-season was the introduction of a new orientation program at the beginning of the school year. all of our athletes spent the first two days of school cycling through conference-style workshops, with visiting nutrition and training experts. The program was designed to increase each athlete’s personal motivation through education. Topics were chosen to provide athletes with the knowledge to support sound decision making, especially in regard to nutrition and sleep, as these are the two key factors to recovery in athletic training.

heinz Graf, a sports psychologist from Switzerland, conducted workshops on mental training as well as teaching workshops for coaches. after orientation, heinz met with athletes who were interested in some individual counseling. Dr. Matt Gammons held sessions on nutrition and exercise physiology. and, a highlight for all was alumnus Doug Lewis who brought kids to the Elite Team woods for team building and challenge courses.

In mid September, we traveled again to Chile for a very successful on-snow camp. One major change from previous years is that we added a three-day speed training block. Valle Nevado provides a perfect opportunity to introduce young athletes to speed training in a safe environment. An additional benefit of speed training is its positive impact on GS skiing. Conditions were excellent this year and it was a productive camp for all who attended.

GMVS’s secret weapon may not just be its roster of talented athletes or the world-renowned coaching staff, but also a key to the academy’s success resides in the basement of the Student Center. In roughly 1,200 square feet of space, amidst medicine balls and workout equipment, lay skilled technicians and two Uber-powered machines: a Wintersteiger Trim 71 ceramic edging machine and a Wintersteiger Sigma RS 200.

Todd Carroll, Technical Services Manager of alpine equipment for the past three years at GMVS, provides exceptional benefits with these machines. The Wintersteiger Trim 71 sets and maintains accurate side-edge bevels on all skis serviced at the academy. The Wintersteiger Sigma RS 200 is used for stone grinding, a multi-step process that involves flattening the base of the ski then gradually making it smoother, infusing it with a “finish” that is geared to the discipline (slalom, giant slalom), snow conditions, and expected weather, Carroll explains. The machine is calibrated regularly by Wintersteiger techicians, whose Eastern warehouse and service center is located in Waitsfield, and is maintained on a daily basis by the Tech Services team.

This team is comprised of current staff, many of whom are GMVS alumni. Working along with Carroll are Charlie Powell ’05, U16 Men’s coach; Jack Bates ’06, U16 Men’s coach; and Will Courtney, U16 Women’s coach, with the help of several coaches: Martin Guyer, Head Alpine Men’s Coach; Paul Epstein ’00 Alpine FIS Men’s Coach; Jeremy Transue ’01, U16 Men’s Coach and Ben Brown, Women’s FIS Coach. The team provides full-service ski equipment repair and management as well as ski care fundamentals. Carroll also specializes in sponsorship negotiation, equipment ordering support, initial ski preparation, boot fitting and canting as well as providing tuning clinics, product testing and “maintaining open lines of communication with ski reps, technicians, and athletes to stay on top of the ‘best practices.’ Every GMVS athlete,” Carroll emphasizes, “can be assured of the same level of expert service.”

The mood down in the basement may seem like a lighthearted place, with Pandora streaming Funk and Country music, drills buzzing, and the machines spinning into action, but Carroll is dead serious about providing quality service. In September, the team typically preps an average of 280 pairs of skis and fits 45-60 pairs of boots in anticipation of GMVS’ annual decampment to Chile after that the team scatters to various parts of the globe, with Carroll traveling to locations to help finalize boot fitting and stance adjustments, as well as offering tuning clinics and general equipment support.

Tech services, Carroll reports, is in full swing from august 1 through April 15. According to Carroll, “As long as there are kids on snow somewhere in the world there is never any shortage of work.”

“GMVS has the equipment and personnel to do more than any ski shop in New England. There are other shops with comparable ski machines and people who run them, as well as boot equipment and boot guys, but nowhere else does the combination exist the way it does at GMVS.”

How does a Ph.D. in Hydrology and hydrogeology, who lives in Crested Butte, Colorado, manage to hold down the position of Assistant Professor of Research at the Desert Research Institute in Reno, NV, participate in several far ranging research projects, spend time with her family, and volunteer on the local watershed coalition in addition to coaching her son’s soccer team?

Rosemary W.H. Carroll, class of 1985, concedes, “It’s not easy. It takes hard work.” She has to travel, relies on current technology to meet and discuss ideas with colleagues and institutions across oceans, but she is able to maintain her mountain life style while pursuing a scientific career.

She credits GMVS with many of the tools that have helped her achieve this sense of balance. She lists work ethic, time management, community, and self-confidence among the top attributes. “GMVS develops the whole person. Many of these qualities are interrelated and difficult to isolate from the others,” she said. She also credits her husband as key to her achievements. “he is a teacher and so has the same schedule as the children; he is an excellent cook; a terrific father and is very, very patient.”

After graduating from GMVS in 1985, Carroll attended Bates, where she received a Ba in Physics in 1989. “I have always loved science, and in high school I doubled my mathematics during my sophomore year (trig and geometry) so that I could take calculus by my senior year,” she said. “I knew early in high school that math is the language of science, and I needed to improve my skills.”

Skiing at a Division 1 College was a major part of her decision to attend Bates. She skied on the alpine team for three years while also running cross country her junior and senior years. By her senior year she had switched to Nordic with the encouragement of

fellow GMVS graduate Becky (Flynn) Woods (currently the head coach of Nordic skiing at Bates). Carroll was awarded the 1989 lindholm Scholar athlete award for academic and athletic excellence.

During the summers, she worked as a whitewater raft guide in California, West Virginia, and Colorado, and immediately following college went to work as a guide on the Kern River in southern California. “My heart belongs to the big landscapes of the west,” she said. She met her future husband, Torrey Carroll, while on this trip. Together they rafted the Grand Canyon, the Gauley River in West Virginia, and she eventually moved west to be closer to Torrey. She began pursuing her teaching certificate in Secondary Science at Western State Colorado University (WSCU), and with the encouragement of a professor, decided to pursue a graduate degree. “From that moment, my focus changed from secondary education to investigating various hydrology/hydrogeology graduate programs that would combine my undergraduate degree in Physics, my love of rivers, and my new-found interest in geology,” she said.

Perhaps her love of the water and her interest in taming and managing its resources were born at GMVS. During her first orientation at school, her group’s itinerary included whitewater kayaking, rock climbing, and orienteering. “Day one was whitewater kayaking with Peter Ord,” she said. as the river rose that day with a scheduled dam release, the difficulty of the rapid where they were stationed increased. Carroll spent a lot of time in “self-rescue,” i.e., swimming and bailing the kayak in a calmer eddy nearby. Regardless, the challenges she faced that day and the remaining days, helped her stare down some of her toughest fears.

“Sport is an analogy for how we live our lives. It provides one an immediate community of peers, promotes health and well-being, and

one can achieve set goals with hard work and dedication,” she said. “I feel those who work hard to get better in their sport find it easier to transfer this ethic and philosophy toward other endeavors.”

These days, in addition to looking after her family—she has two children, Ethan (age 12) and Maxwell (age 9)—both are hockey players—Carroll has traveled to Jordan, where she worked with several international arid lands Consortium (IalC) institutions on the National Science Foundation (NSF) studying the interplay between ecosystems and social structures. She has been awarded an NSF proposal in the program on Water Sustainability and Climate (WSC) with colleagues, universities and the National Oceanic and atmospheric administration (NOaa). “With the growth in communication technology, flextime in the office and a supportive division director, I have been able to be both a mother and a researcher,” she said.

and she is able to do this all from the close knit community of Crested Butte. “My husband and I chose Crested Butte precisely for its community. The town comes together to help individuals and families in crisis, cares about the environment, and relies on volunteers in all aspects of community enrichment for those who live here and visit,” she said.

Community is one of the lasting impressions that Carroll took away from GMVS. “The community of GMVS is incredibly important,” she said. “It is the community that develops the whole person and provides the sense of well-being and self-confidence that can often be absent in an adolescent’s life.”

And you’re likely to find her out in her community working in the school classroom, volunteering on a technical committee to monitor the quality of the drinking water, or coaching her kids’ soccer team while still balancing the demands of her scientific career.

“Sport is an analogy for how we live our life. It provides one an immediate community of peers, promotes health and well-being, and one can only achieve set goals with hard work and dedication. I feel those who work hard to get better in their sport find it easier to transfer this ethic and philosophy toward other endeavors. “

(1985) co-founded Capital Management,

a company that trades G-7 Sovereign

concedes that it’s always exciting trading

in the bond markets, “which I have been

doing since 1992, in my first trading

position as a portfolio manager for

BlackRock.”

EG is a graduate of Dartmouth College (1989). He is married to Stacey Spencer, and has two children, Isabella (9) and Jesse (7). He lives in Greenwich, Connecticut and below, in his own words, is a beautiful testimony to his experience at GMVS. I think there are several qualities GMVS alumni carry with them for most of their lives. Probably the main quality is the knowledge one accumulates about working hard and persevering to be able to achieve your goals. Whether it’s on the slopes or in classroom, kids learn how hard they can push themselves and how much more they can accomplish than maybe they thought. Constant focus while striving to be the best in a sometimes fiercely competitive field is an experience that serves all GMVS alums well in any endeavor in their lives.

I guess the biggest obstacles I faced at GMVS were ones that continued the learning and growing process of not only being a successful ski racer but a good student as well. Dealing with setbacks on the hill, in dryland training or in school, especially at GMVS, truly teaches you to learn from your mistakes and use these experiences to be a better person, skier or student. The environment of consistent encouragement really helps you keep in perspective your goals and the path to obtaining them. Obtaining this ability to overcome problems with a positive attitude and remaining focused on your goals so they can be achieved, while enjoying the process of pursuing them, is a quality not many high school kids will get the opportunity to acquire.

as I think most people who attended GMVS in the years I did will say, ashley Caldwell certainly had a lasting impression on me. Christo Morse (1989) and I still talk about him frequently! ash brought an amazing energy to the school and a great perspective to an

environment where competition can be all encompassing. Teaching kids to understand themselves and think about how they fit into their community while helping everyone think about problems and goals in many different ways is something I’ll always thank ash for. Imagine being 13 years old and hearing the headmaster of your school speaking about the “Spirit among Us” and then howling in the middle of the cafeteria! Pretty powerful.

I started skiing at age eight (pretty late actually) and started racing at Sugarbush that same year. By the time I was ten years old, I knew of GMVS and was racing hard and loved skiing. But I still remember the prospective student event that was held in the Main building the year before I attended. after walking around campus and meeting kids who seemed to all be driven towards something I knew I also wanted to pursue, I watched the GMVS “slideshow” with many of the kids I would wind up spending the next four years of my life.

The pictures of the kids playing soccer in the fall, skiing on Inverness, and walking, talking, and laughing around campus while Elton John’s Friends played made certain in my mind that GMVS was the place I wanted to be. It has certainly been the most influential experience in my life, shaping me into the person I am today, and one for which I am always grateful.

Elisa handbury, Class of 2007, might be a stand out in any crowd. after graduating from GMVS, she went on to study and receive a Ba in art history and architecture at Brown University (2011), and then pursued her Ma in Visual arts administration at NyU, graduating this past May. She then moved right into a job in Client Strategy at Christie’s, the fine art and auction house in New york City. “Art and the art market are interconnected in some ways,” she said, “yet entirely distinct in others. The industry requires a balance of business sensibility and a true passion for art.” It is a sound strategy for someone pursuing a passion while securing an income and a career.

handbury grew up in Sydney, australia, surrounded by the work of australian artists such as Sydney Nolan and Russell Drysdale. Her mother is also a painter. handbury was also a ski racer, and by the seventh grade she was already missing several months of school to compete. “From australia it was very difficult to manage travelling to train and race – six hours to Thredbo (located in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, australia), and 24 hours to Europe or America,” she said. After competing in the 2003 Whistler Cup, she stopped by the GMVS campus. “I don’t think I was really prepared for what I was getting myself into!”

She credits her work ethic as one of the key factors to her achievements. “at GMVS, I experienced what it was like to work hard and to be rewarded for hard work. Whether it was getting a good grade or achieving a small personal victory on the hill, I learned that there is a relationship between the level of work put in and the level of satisfaction you get out,” she said.

She also lists the GMVS community with helping her formulate some of her most important life skills. “I credit GMVS for fostering in me an ability to get along with people. I am independent by nature and GMVS was first and foremost a community – my time there taught me that the two don’t have to be mutually exclusive, that true community embraces independence and that individuals flourish when part of a group,” she said.

It was this sense of community that helped her both pursue her studies and skiing at Brown, where she was named USCSa all-academic in 2008-2009 and went on to become captain in 2009-2010. “There was a lot of camaraderie when it came to our schoolwork, though – and the support between the girls was there both on and off the hill. We were always the ones doing our schoolwork – whether reading with headlights on our 5 a.m. van trips to training, or writing essays in the lodge at races on the weekend,” she said. “In a sport that traditionally focuses on the individual, it was really important being part of a team of people in the same boat – working hard to balance everything and succeed, but also having fun. “

Although she has been out of GMVS for five years, and said that the experience is now a part of her past, handbury accedes, “The character I built at GMVS has continued to contribute to my life and experiences along the way.”

She credits Andrea Harris as a major influence. “She encouraged me in the face of challenges, and gave me a reality check with her sense of humor when I made mountains out of molehills. andrea’s mentorship was something I really missed when I went on to Brown.” handbury also credits the women’s coaching staff—Dani Koch, Randy Graves, Traudl Gavett and Sarah Despres—for helping her develop as both a person and an athlete.

She continues to draw parallels with her experiences and life after GMVS. “While Brown and GMVS offer starkly different educations, there are actually a lot of parallels. at GMVS, there was a lot of guidance, but also a lot of freedom – necessary freedom – to develop your own academic style,” she said. “At Brown, you are told to jump and find your wings on the way down.”

Handbury has taken flight and has become an expert at negotiating the descent.

“Going to GMVS gave me a kind of hardiness, a knowledge that I could independently thrive regardless of my situation. From the basic household chores you have to do (scrubbing pots, cleaning toilets, etc.) to the conditions in which you have to do your homework (in a bouncing van, in a noisy base lodge, you get the picture), everything teaches you patience and perseverance.”

Chris Kinner, GMVS 2007

Chris Kinner has always been interested in understanding what makes people tick. “Why they think the way they do and what the differences between people are, and how they interact,” he said. This natural curiosity led him to pursue psychology while at harvard University where he received a Ba in Psychology in 2011 (Social and Cognitive Neuroscience) along with Government (Political Philosophy) and French language Citation. But this subtle inquisitiveness has also led to his current position as a management associate in an investment company.

“Our team has 25 people on it, and every day, they’re working away on things, making decisions that affect their work,” he said. “Studying psychology, then, was really useful, because I learned a lot about the different ways that people’s brains work. and I learned to think about how to match up people with different thinking styles so that one person’s strengths might fill in for another’s weaknesses, making a better team overall.”

CHRIS KINNERa METICUlOUS ThINKER • CLASS OF 2006


There is a lot of thought and training that have gone into Chris’s current path, some of it acutely aligned, other parts seemingly disparate. “My parents met on a blind date on New year’s Eve at Okemo Mountain in the ’70s,” he said. “I think it was inevitable after that. Every weekend during my childhood, we’d hop in the car on Friday after school and make the trek up to Vermont.”

Pair that with an active sailing life. “My parents first bought a sailboat when I was one or two years old. I learned to sail while I learned to walk.” he grew up racing in a junior program and traveling to races on weekends. When the two sports were competing for his attention, he decided to pursue skiing by attending GMVS. “I figured I could go ski now while my body was young and then come back to sailing later in life.”

When he was at the end of his junior year and the beginning of his senior year at GMVS, his ski racing was in a slump. Headmaster Dave Gavett suggested that Kinner make education his top priority and look at “bigger ponds” which would provide a greater range of opportunities. Based on that advice, he applied to harvard (early decision), got in, and never looked back. “That season was the best of my high school skiing career,” he said.

While choosing to ski at harvard he had to make some tough academic choices. “I really wanted to study mechanical engineering in college, but the lab requirements wouldn’t work with my ski team schedule.” Regardless, Kinner was named captain of the ski team in 2009, and was named a 2010 NCaa academic all-american. “Getting my work done on the road was a bit of a challenge, but nothing I hadn’t seen before at GMVS, and the flexibility of college course schedules meant I could plan around my training blocks.”

after college, Kinner made the tough choice to not continue ski racing. “I’ve always been an outdoorsy person, and I realized that if I was going to stop ski racing I’d lose one of the most important ways I like to get outside on a regular basis. So I decided that I wanted to go have a big adventure,” he said. That adventure led him to NOlS (National Outdoor leadership School), where they ran “schools” in remote places around the globe with a wide range of courses covering different technical skills. “I decided I wanted to do the longest course they had,” he said,

and embarked on a five month course in Patagonia, Chile where he hiked, mountaineered, kayaked and rock climbed. To prep for the trip he spent the summer teaching himself Spanish and deal-hunting for gear. By mid-October, he headed to South america.

Some of the skills he picked up at GMVS were instrumental in making this phase of his life a success. “Going to GMVS gave me a kind of hardiness, a knowledge that I could independently thrive regardless of my situation,” he said. “From the basic household chores you have to do (scrubbing pots, cleaning toilets, etc.) to the conditions in which you have to do your homework (in a bouncing van, in a noisy base lodge, you get the picture), everything teaches you patience and perseverance. The attitude that nothing about my environment could really bother me has stayed with me since I graduated, and I think it’s a big factor in my continued happiness. From that baseline of independence, I can go do anything I want.”

he has also picked up some key learning skills that have helped in all the phases of his life, from coaching sailing to living in a tent in Patagonia for five months to studying at an Ivy League College. “Dave Iverson probably had the biggest influence on my approach to academics,” he said. “I credit him with providing the right kind of attitude towards any subject - that you have to have a combination of discipline and curiosity to get the most out of your learning, and that it’s okay to get things wrong as long as you learn from your mistakes.”

What’s on the horizon? “I did a fair amount of volunteer work through my fraternity in college (Sigma Chi) and miss having that avenue to give back.” he said he was considering the idea of getting an EMT-B license and volunteering in an ambulance.

Regardless of which track he chooses, he will inevitably continue to pursue his curiosity, trying to figure out what makes people tick and finding plenty to keep him busy on the way.

GMVS launched the Campaign for the 5th Decade in the fall of 2011 to broaden our short-term and long-term financial resources by investing in outstanding faculty, world-class ski training, campus facilities, and a strong endowment. The Capital Campaign’s original goal was $2 million and to date, has raised a total of $2,795,516. The enthusiasm for this campaign illustrates our community’s incredible appreciation for GMVS--a sentiment that is surely founded in the belief that there is no better gift to give a child than a great education.

CAMPAIGN FOR THE 5TH DECADE

ANNUAL FUND

SUPPORTING GMVS 2012 GALA & GOLF

The annual Fund helps bridge the gap between tuition and the cost of operating the school. We rely on it to cover 6% of the operating budget supporting all that goes into a GMVS education. As is the case in most private schools, the annual Fund helps maintain the quality and caliber of the GMVS education. Participating in the annual Fund, regardless of donation size, shows your support of GMVS.

WHAT IS THE ANNUAL FUNDS GOAL?The goal this year is to raise $300,000 with 100% participation from current parents and 30% participation of alumni and alumni parents.

The 19th Annual Scholarship Gala was an impressive affair with record numbers filling the Parker Gym. This year we had 43 alumni attend the event. Special thanks to both the MC, Piero Bonamico for a great job moving the evening along and to auctioneer, Doug Lewis ’82 who wove his magic wand to raise $188,000 that our scholarship fund relies on.

Thanks to all who attended and contributed to this year’s Gala Weekend, especially our supportive alumni. as many of you know from firsthand experience, this special event makes the GMVS dream a reality for so many students. Thank you for continuing to be an important part of GMVS.

CLASS NOTES

70sEllen Adams Hall ’74I am still enjoying life in Park City where, as the Program Director for the National ability Center, I witness lives being changed everyday. Mike’s role at amer Sports keeps expanding, and he is now the Winter Sports Equipment VP and Commercial Director for both Salomon and Atomic. Cameron (’06) has settled in Bozeman for the time being, and Kieran is deferring college for a year to continue competing with the Park City Ski Team.

Mike Walsh ’88I work full time as a Physician assistant in a private asthma/allergy/Immunology practice. at night and on the weekends, my time is usually spent with my two daughters and wife. I ski raced in the 2011 & 2012 season, avoided injury and had a lot of fun. I still motocross and mountain bike.

Jennifer Kennedy Zanca ’79 I am looking forward to the 40th reunion this spring! life in my world is pretty uneventful. My daughter Mariah is skiing in aspen this year as a PG she deferred from St. lawrence for a year. My son is 15 and a hockey player, he keeps me on my toes with travel. he is currently attending school in Quebec at a school called Stanstead College, which has an excellent hockey team. I find it amusing that he attends school in a suit and tie every day!

I am currently working as an RN at an orthopedic surgical center and spend most of my days in the operating room without seeing the light of day. The upside is that this may save my skin from all that premature aging from sun, wind and the elements. Botox is not in my future, and my smile lines are growing. Living on a 500 acre potato farm in Maine.... the real deal with no white picket fences or thoroughbred race horses in the background.

Currently, I am scheming up a new business plan to be revealed later, so stay tuned!My latest endeavor is to get back out on the hill at the booming metropolis of lost Valley ski area and coach the stragglers to ski racing and those that want to run gates under the lights at night during the week.

The chapters since GMVS have been interesting and a true smorgasbord of life. looking forward to more GMVS connections....and GRaTEFUl for the gift of attending GMVS!

80sStephen Gunther ’80 I’m back in the “Ski Racing World” coaching Part time at Ski & Snowboard Club (SSCV). as my kids are racing, I’m compelled to get back to “The Ski Racing Family.”

David Thompson ’81 living in San antonio, TX.

Doug Lewis ’82 & Kelley Knowles Lewis PG ’89 Kelley and I are heading out West again for the winter season as I will be the alpine analyst for Universal Sports covering all the World Cups. hope you can find it on your TV or Computer and watch. love to hear feedback good and bad! Kelley and I will be skiing in the Park City area during the week while we plan for our 22nd year of ElITEaM.

We are so psyched for the 40th celebration at GMVS in June 2013. Please save the date and come hang out with old friends and tell stories. The 80’s decade will dominate the soccer game taking down all the youngsters there!

Steven Johnston ’82 I am working in Cambridge, Ma in new drug development.

Jamie Armstrong ’83 We are still in Massachusetts and I continue to practice as a Pa in Cardiac Electrophysiology (Pacemakers etc.). My wife Chrissie is in textbook publishing as an editorial director. We are busy juggling the usual kid schedules of soccer, ski racing (Waterville) and now, the college admissions process. yikes! Hope my fellow alums are well.

Todd Schneider ’86 Working on a film as Stunt Coordinator/Stuntman in New Orleans for the fall. looking forward to the ski season in Mammoth this year after last years snow disaster. Kids are a year older and I feel the same, minus the aches and pains of injuries past haunting me. Remember when we hit Kirk Dwyer with a water balloon with the funnelator from Clark house to the main building? Epic!

Lisa Irelan ’86 I spent three weeks in Europe this summer hiking 100 miles through the French, Italian and Swiss alps on the Tour du Mont Blanc route. It was fabulous! after the hike, I took a very lengthy and local train route to beautiful Jenins, Switzerland to visit Alexi Jenkins Felix ’85. I hadn’t seen her in 27 years, but it was like no time had passed (of course!). She is doing well and I think I have her convinced to puddle jump over for the 40th. Hey 80’s peeps - who else is going to the 40th? Let’s motivate - would love to see you!

Ken Zemach ’87 I just had a great visit with my daughter in the UK; just wishing I could get to see her more often. Other than that, a bit of running this summer and raced a “hard” mountain 100 miler with 20,000 ft of climbing in a mind-numbing 21:28. looking forward to a more relaxed ski season and long winter recovery....

Jonathan Marcus ’88 My wife lisa, and 3 kids, Jack (9), Olivia (6), and Lucinda (4) have moved to austin, Texas this past august.

Chuck List ’88 I am still living in a van down by the river. Well, not exactly. I bought an airstream two years ago and moved into that. With my life as an airline pilot being spent on the road so much, and the ability to commute from any airport, I decided to keep my life as close to fun as possible. That meant aspen this summer and Tucson for the winters, with a bit of play in the deserts along the way. Coming up on 8 years with SkyWest airlines but hoping to land a major airline job soon.

Tracy Bristol Hiebert ’89 Quite a busy year with 4 children and 4 different schools. I kicked my butt this summer in the Tough Mountain Challenge and hung out with Denny hamlin in my spare time. luke and I are getting ready for the winter here at Sunday River and teaching our 2 year old how to ski.

90sDaron Rahlves ’91My wife Michelle and I reached another milestone with our 5 year old twins Miley and Dreyson this fall. They started kindergarten at Truckee Elementary. The kids fired up to ski this winter at Sugar Bowl.This summer we were on lake Tahoe and Donner cooling off, SUP, boating, water skiing, riding bmx with lots of play time. I went to New Zealand with atomic and Chile with Spyder for product shoots. Now hitting up ski shows for TGR “Dream Factory” and Warren Miller Ent “Flow State” promoting skiing and my sponsors. This winter I’ve got year three of The Rahlves’ Banzai Tour with four events in Tahoe. www.rahlvesbanzai.com.

Peter Ellman ’91We are living in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Moved here in 2009 after 4 years of medical school and 9 years of post graduate training. Working as a heart and lung surgeon at the local hospital. I have been married for

almost 13 years to wife Sarah and we have twin 9 year old boys James and Will.

Susan Larson Minneci ’92 I am living in Park City, UT with my 2 year old son lars. I teach kindergarten at Trailside Elementary School, and am the owner of a small business called “Better View Window Cleaning.” I continue to enjoy all of the mountain biking and skiing that Utah has to offer.

Ryan Bronz ’92I am living in Brooklyn, Ny with wife Margie and 2yearr old son august. Missing Vermont and the members of the class of ’92 and GMVS community. Hoping to see everyone at the 40th reunion!

JP Daigneault ’92The Dyksterhouse-Daigneault power team has been reunited in British Columbia. Brandon has been coaching the BC provincial ski team since leaving GMVS in 2010 while I was doing the same with the Québec provincial team. In October, I accepted to join up with BC and leave my native province and go live the BC/Whistler experience. I can’t wait to go there and get to work with the BC crew and Dykster.

Ben Binger ’93annie and I are still living and working in northern Virginia just outside D.C. We have three great kids who are all healthy and active. They love getting to Montana each winter for a ski trip and spend at least a month each summer on the lake -- oh to be young and carefree! We plan on making the 40th and look forward to seeing everyone there!

Jody Kaufmann Curtis ’93 I still live in Park City, UT with my husband, Mike Curtis (Burke ’91) our two sons (Lee, 4, Bo, 3) and our dog. Mike is busy selling ski gear, and I am staying at home with our guys. We are having a blast here in the sun, come visit!

Wendy Scipione ’93I had an awesome visit to Tahoe this summer and reunited with Shannon ’93 and Daron Rahlves ’91, Nina

Skylling’90, Tom Schaeffer ’92 and Nicole Dreon ’91. We hiked, ran, played soccer, water-skied, barbequed and checked out the new pump track. It felt like the good old days packed with activities! There is nothing like catching up with old GMVS friends! It’s always as if no time has passed. Ashley Davenport Sargent ’95Nick and I have been living in Stowe for 10 years raising our three kids, ages, 10, 8 and 6. They are all skiing at MMSC this winter and I am coaching for the 1st time in years! Been on the J5/J6 circuit for a few years now with the kids and love running into the GMVS coaches and their kids and old ski racing buddies who now have little racers. My 8 yr. old attended Eliteam this summer with her two cousins from Colorado!

CLASS NOTES

Fun facts: abbi and I got engaged within 3 weeks of each other, we are both engaged to men named “John” and we will marry 30 days apart... we are keeping things exciting, and similar, as always after 29 years of twinship. We have learned to laugh at the uncanny similarities. We even named our “Beer league” ski team comprised of the four of us “The John - lathrops.”

. Kelly Brush Davisson ’04I got married this summer to Zeke Davisson. Sophie Elgort, Alissa Consenstein, Michelanne Shields (all ’04), and my sister Lindsay ’02 were bridesmaids. We had many GMVS alumni in attendance and had a great time!

Jessie Buckner ’04I recently started my Masters in Environmental Biology at the University of Pennsylvania.

Jay Hydren ’04I recently graduated with a Master’s degree from the University of Connecticut’s Department of Kinesiology. I had previously completed my undergraduate degree in the same field at the University of New hampshire. In my graduate work I studied human performance from the basic molecular level to applied environmental sport performance. My thesis explored the effects of high altitude exposure on 7 sport performance during a week long youth sport camp in Colorado. In my free time I competed in the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conferences with several podium finishes. This past summer I was contracted to help design a fitness trail for Orian Paul’s Eagle Scout. The project included trail design, outdoor equipment selection and advice on how to raise over $6000 needed for the project. I think this type of project will serve the community well, promoting both health and small business, as local Bootcamps (outdoor fitness classes) can assist in the effort to help train the local population on how to exercise safely and effectively. I am now in a graduate Fellowship sponsored by

the Oak Ridge Institute of Scientific Education in support of the U.S. army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine near Boston Ma.

Joe Swensson ’04I am currently in Saas Fee, Switzerland training for the upcoming Ski Cross World Cup season. It is a great collaborative effort because many national teams have come together to create a world class training facility here on the glacier. The Swiss, Canadians, Russians, Germans, French, Finnish, and americans are all here and it is a very competitive training group. Our first World Cup takes place in Nakiska on Dec. 7th

Peter Kling ’06I am still living in anchorage, alaska when I’m not on the road ski racing for the Alaska Pacific University Nordic Ski Center Elite Team. I am an up-and-coming Ice Road Trucker for Carlile Transportation Systems. Between dodging wildlife that is trying to kill me during dryland workouts and keeping an 18 (sometimes 30) wheeler between the center stripe and shoulder I am in charge of benchmarking for Carlile in the trucking industry. This keeps me busy and challenged outside of training and racing.

Cody Transue ’06I am living in China teaching English for a second year, and just finished traveling through a northern province of China to see some fall like weather. I ended up sleeping in a McDonald’s due to lack of hotels and taking a 33 hour train ride because I couldn’t get to my airport. I am planning my next vacation which will be during the Chinese New year when I can hopefully trek from Kathmandu to Everest base camp and maybe see a little of India afterward.

Caroline MuHugh ’08I’m happy to report that I’m living the skier’s dream in Frisco, Colorado! I moved out here in September for a job with SE Group, a ski area consulting/mountain planning firm based out of Frisco/Burlington. I look forward to seeing many of my fellow GMVS grads

out here throughout the season. Pray for snow!

Brigitta Park ’08I am graduating with a Finance degree from the University of Connecticut in December 2012.

Evan Diamond ’09I’m getting back in the swing of things for senior year! I sat out last ski season due to back surgery, and I’m returning this winter as co-captain of the Dartmouth Men’s Alpine Team. I had a great last trip to Chile and am more excited than ever to race. I spent the past summer in Dares Salaam, Tanzania living, working, and teaching in Mbagala, the country’s largest slum. I had an amazing experience developing an after-school environmental awareness/arts enrichment program during which my students made artwork from different types of trash. In the meantime, I’m looking at teaching opportunities to pursue after I graduate.

10sEmma LeBlanc ’10I am co-captain of the Brown ski team. I have also have started an internship at the Bristol County Veterinarian hospital in Seekonk, Massachusetts. I plan on applying to veterinary school after Brown, but this internship is training me to become a veterinary technician for the next summer!

Antoine St-Louis ’11here what I’ve been up to for the last months! I am still training hard and aiming for the 2013 Biathlon Junior World Championships. I am also hoping to be on the Canadian national team this season. I was able to train with GMVS in Italy for two weeks in September. I now live in Sherbrooke, QC and I train full time with the Quebec team. In the next months I’ll be training and racing across North america and most probably in Europe.
