Coach: David Nordstrom (third year)

Last year’s record: Girls: Class A state champs; Boys: 2nd at Class A states.

Returning skiers: Boys: Seniors — North Kay, Jackie Chen, Luke Pane; Junior — Zach Veayo; Sophomores — Dustin Staples, Silas Rogers. Girls: Seniors — Emily Ramsey, Addie Cullenberg, Emily Roberts, Molly Fissette; Juniors — Ruth Leopold, Deanna Richard; Shireen Luick; Sophomores — Anja Nordstrom, Sarah Wade.

Key losses: Hannah Allen, Brody Hines.

Promising newcomers: Boys: Junior — Sully Jackson; Sophomore — Ike Doiron; Freshman — Sam McIntosh. Girls: Freshman — Leah Hardy.

Outlook: One key skier from the boys’ squad and another from the girls’ team graduated, but the teams’ depth remains, particularly on the girls’ side, where a large group of seniors will look to replicate last season’s results in their final high school season. The boys’ team is very, very big, with a lot of newcomers. But like the girls, the boys have a lot of talent in those numbers, and with Fryeburg back in Class B, the A field is wide ooen and ripe for the picking.

Coach’s comment: The outlook for the girls is good, but the competition looks good, too. The boys’ team is hard to predict. It could be a building year, but there is an outside chance for a perfect storm of talent and motivation to produce a truly astonishing package.” — Coach David Nordstrom
