Skiing is All About Family for Alpine Coach of the Year Jesse Scott

January 30, 2024 by braveskimom

When our sons were ski racing, Jesse Scott was one of their (and our!) favorite ski coaches. In 2023, Scott was honored as the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association (USCSA) Coach of the Year. I recently wrote an article about Scott for the Colorado Mesa University magazine, The Maverick. In chatting with him, […]

Are You a Brave Ski Mom? Or Do You Know One?

April 19, 2022 by braveskimom

As I wrote in one of my earliest posts (way back in 2010), all moms are brave. And, I truly believe that all parents are brave.
