What do you do if winning an Olympic Gold Medal in snowboarding doesn’t bring the breakfast cereal, big-box retailer clothing money falling in like rain? If you’re two-time Olympic medalist Ross Powers you go back to your alma mater, apparently.
According to a news item posted on the Stratton Mountain School website, Ross Powers is the school’s new Snowboarding Program Director.
“Ross returns to us with more than a decade of experience competing at the highest levels of world-wide competition,” said Christopher Kaltsas, SMS Headmaster. “Ross is one of the most highly profiled figures in the history of the Halfpipe snowboard circuit, and we are pleased to have him join our staff.”
Ross, who is replacing Mike Mallon, will join the staff at the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year. At least he’s not teaching gym.
