Tim Mitchell was named Harvard’s head coach of men’s and women’s alpine skiing in July 2006. He will be entering his fifth year with the Crimson this season.
No stranger to collegiate coaching or the Ivy League, Mitchell brought nine years of coaching experience and 17 years of racing experience with him when he arrived at Harvard. Mitchell was the Alpine Race Coach for the National Alpine Ski Camp at Mt. Hood, Oregon, and was appointed as the Head Elite-Level Alpine Race Coach for the Brighton Competition Team in Brighton, Utah. He also spent the 2004-2005 season as an assistant on the Brown University team.
A 2002 graduate of Plymouth State University (N.H.), Mitchell was a five-time USCA All-America selection and a two-time MacConnell Division overall champion. He logged 16 competitive victories during his stay at PSU and was the Eastern Region combined champion in the slalom and giant slalom. During his junior and senior campaigns, Mitchell went on to finish in the top five nationally at the USCSA national Championships, finishing as the top American-born skier both times. His travels also brought him to the University of Utah, where he completed a masters degree in exercise physiology.
