  Head Coach  Kelley Sinnott: This is my 5th year coaching for SVSEF and my 4th year as the XC Prep Team Head Coach.  I was born and raised in Ketchum, have been part of SVSEF for 15 years and am proud to be part of such a great organization. Over the course of my childhood I was part of the alpine, snowboard, and nordic team but spent the majority of my time on the XC trails. I was part of the nordic team from 2nd grade through high school and after graduating from high school I headed east to Bates College.  At Bates I was a member of the Bates Ski Team for 1 year and for 3 years I was a member of the Bates Hockey Team, after graduating from Bates I found my way back to Idaho and XC skiing. Currently I am trying to spend as much time coaching as possible, I am an assistant coach for the XC Devo Quigley program and during the off seasons I coach for Sawtooth United and am the assistant coach for the WRHS varsity girls soccer team.  If I'm not on the ski trails you are most likely to find me teleskiing on Baldy, playing hockey with the Ketchum Five Stars or sitting by Petit Lake in the summer.  One thing you might not know about me is that I make my own Dill Pickles!!... 

              Ashley Wells: This is Ashley's 3rd year coaching with the XC Prep Team and her 14th year as part of the SVSEF family.  Ashley was born and raised in Ketchum and at one time or another was part of the SVSEF alpine, snowboarding and nordic teams.  Ashley was a member of the SVSEF XC Ski Team from 2nd grade through high school, she attended the Hovden Skigymnas in Hovden, Norway for 1 year and briefly skied for the University of Denver.  After graduating from DU Ashley made her way back to the Wood River Valley where she coaches, works for the Sun Valley Co race department, and in the off-season is a raft guide for White Otter.  When she is not on the XC trails Ashley can usually be found enjoying the outdoors, her hobbies are skiing, hiking, and rafting.  One this you might not know about Ashley is that she "also knows how to ski downhill..."
