Welcome Kait Miller to WSCA Board of Directors!

We are so excited to welcome Kait Miller to our Board of Directors! Kait joins us from East Montpelier, Vermont with a rich background of involvement in the skiing community. 

Kait grew up in Northern Vermont and has spent most of their life involved with skiing in New England, doing everything from Bill Koch League (BKL) to racing on the Eastern Cup circuit. Kait attended Bowdoin College, where they skied all 4 years before joining the Craftsbury Green Racing Project (GRP). From there they competed on the US Ski and Snowboard SuperTour, FIS World Cup, and as a member of the US Ski and Snowboard Olympic Team at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Games. 

While a member of the GRP, Kait worked with many young athletes in the local community at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, where they coached skiing and biking as well as running a local community trail race series. Kait is also an accomplished artist working towards a certification in Graphic Design from the Rhode Island School of Design. If you have ever won a knit item from a Craftsbury Outdoor Center event, it was probably made by Kait!

For the last three-years Kait was the New England Ski Association (NENSA) Youth and Introductory Program Director. There they did everything from managing communication strategies to writing grants applications and assisting with fundraising efforts. Their responsibilities included coordinating programming ranging from BKL & Nordic Rocks to running events such as the BKL Festival, and both the Eastern U16 and High School Championships. 

Kait was heavily involved with creating coaching education and an extensive resource library for NENSA. They also served as the Chair of the NENSA Transgender and Nonbinary Athlete Committee. Kait’s work with NENSA has had a huge impact on the ski community both in the Northeast and across the US and we are so excited to have their expertise on our board.

On being a member of the WSCA Board, Kait says that “I firmly believe in the necessity of gender equity in sport and look forward to ensuring that all underrepresented people in the ski industry are actively included alongside cis women in this work. I've been greatly inspired by the work of the WSCA  and am honored to serve as a board member to aid in furthering their reach and impact.”
