Curran will take on the role of head J3/J4 coach and will work with the coaches and athletes at the Killington Ski Club.

The J3/J4 coaching staff at KMS also includes Dylan Snell, former J3/J4 program coach at Jackson Hole, Wyoming; and Jake Stevens, a recent graduate of University of New Hampshire and captain of the UNH Ski Team.
