Connor Huftalen
U10 Head Coach
Connor grew up skiing at Pats Peak and joined the program as a racer when he turned 8. He continued racing for Pats Peak for 10 years before pursuing an education in physics at WPI. During his time at WPI, Connor set his sights on a career of teaching high school physics and coaching for youth athletics. While at school, Connor would return home and help coach at Pats Peak during his winter breaks. Last year Connor started his first year of coaching full-time in the winter working with the U-10s. When he's not out on the hill, Connor likes to spend his free time staying active outdoors and reading. During the warmer months he is an avid hiker and rower. Regardless of the season or activity, you can count on Connor to bring a book with him, and he's always eager to talk about books and constantly looking for new recommendations.
