Tom Echelberger- Program Director/ Head Coach

Tom came to us from the East Coast. He began coaching with Hopkinton Middle School and Team New Hampshire. As an athlete, Tom competed for the National Guard Elite Biathlon team, representing the US Armed Forces at the World Military Ski Championships in Nordic Sking and Skimo. Tom currently holds a U.S. Ski and Snowboard L100 coaching license.

Tom’s coaching philosophy is to teach sustainable, process-based goal-setting, determination, and drive through the backdrop of training for and participating in cross-country ski racing. I believe that getting to the starting line and understanding the processes leading to our results are the true measures of success. If we master the process, refine the technique, and teach sound goal-setting, we will shape our athletes as skiers for life.

Of course we love skiing, but skiing is just one way to explore self-discovery and strive for athletic and technical growth.
