TEAM LEADERS

COACH JOHN FICO

Head Coach

After coaching the Ridge Ski Team for over 25 years, Coach Fico has helped create incredible success within the team but also made an amazing environment for our racers. Without his hard work and dedication, the team wouldn't be the same.

COURTNEY, BEN, JOHN, MARK AND JAIME

Assistant Coaches

Experienced, trustworthy, and fun. These are some of the many adjectives to describe our dedicated coaches. They put in countless hours on and off the mountain to work with the team and not only ensure success but create memories.

ALINE BENITEZ, KELSEY HORNER, SOPHIE O'CONNOR, WILL HOCKSTEIN, TRISTAN DEFFENBAUGH

2023-2024 Captains

Having spent their whole High School career on the Ridge Ski Team, their passion and love for it are unmeasurable. As role models, they help lead the team and embody its core values.
