My co-coach – my new friend and one super new “ski” friend from the Mt. Snow Training Center. Meg has been a sweetheart to me from the beginning when I was finding my way as a new coach and Steve’s “new wife”. I have started to make my friends up on the mountain here and I remember skiing with Meg the first time we met in training – although in a different group, skiing down the hill as a part of Steve Wagner’s group I knew she was one of the best female skiers on the hill, and on the coaching squad, along with Mary Ellen, Annie, and Sandra – they are all so much fun to ski with if we weren’t working all the time…
Well Meg joined our group as a coach as our group was one of the larger groups. She has been a great coach to the girls and brought along synchronized skiing and a race background that has really helped in the training and skills that we present to the girls. One of us takes the morning and one in the afternoon because the girls got so close they really wanted to stay together, so we continue each week to ski together, laugh, sing, learn A LOT and have a GREAT time! These girls are the best on the mountain to ski with and really work hard.
So back to Meg, she is a faculty member at a college in CT and also teaches a grad course. She has one son who is in college still and she is a proud mom. It is fun to share Schuyler experiences with her and also to have her coach Schuyler once in a while when the coaching staff is slim.
Looking forward to the rest of season coaching, skiing and hanging out at the Lodge with my new and dear friend Meg!
