| Welcome Brent Smith - Our New NSTC Operations Supervisor |
Brent Smith has recently been appointed the role of NSTC Operations Supervisor following the promotion of previous manager Sam Taylor.
Brent moves into the role with over thirteen years of snowsports experience after moving to the Jindabyne area, where he and his family currently reside.
With a personal passion for Park and Pipe, Brent quickly became involved in the broader snowsports community initially through volunteering at Interschools and supporting his children through their various development programs, including Snow Australia’s very own FUTURES program.
Over his time in the snowsports community, Brent has fostered strong and lasting relationships with athletes, coaches, mountain staff and fellow parents, ensuring a seamless transition into his new role.
“I am extremely excited to be joining the NSTC team, and the operations of the day-to-day running of the air bag facility,” Brent said.
Please join us in congratulating and welcoming Brent into his new role within the NSTC and the broader snowsports community. |
