Meet Coach Sam.
A Methow native, Sam grew up with nearly as much time with his feet in skis as he did shoes. He took his love for skinny skis all the way to junior nationals, then flew the coop for college, where he skied for Dartmouth. He continued with post-collegiate racing on the national circuit during which time he found his way back to the Methow to work with his coach Scott Johnston. After his retirement from skiing and entry into parenthood, Sam led the brand new Seattle junior program Momentum Northwest, before moving back to Mazama for good in 2016 when he joined Alison coaching Cascade Endurance athletes. Soon after, he joined Johnston’s team at Uphill Athlete until this spring when he came full circle, now leading the Methow Valley Nordic Ski Team as Program Director and is back coaching with Cascade Endurance. When he’s not working, you’ll find him somewhere in the backcountry, preferably on skis.
