Dave Wadleigh

Intern/coach

Dave has been coaching skiing for 9 years, and is currently in his 6th for the Squaw Big Mountain Team. His passion for skiing began in Vermont where he grew up riding Bolton Valley, Smuggler's Notch, and Jay Peak. Despite being a ski-racer through high school, he was always drawn to the cliffs and glades and began competing in big mountain events a few years later. He is studying entrepreneurship at Sierra Nevada College where he is also the co-founder/president of the SNC Freeride Club. Dave is drawn to skiing "because it provides an unmatched source of excitement and self-discovery." He chose to intern for the TJFS because "I want to have a lasting, positive effect on the sport I love. TJFS is an incredible opportunity to learn valuable new aspects of the sport from the people who do it best."
