Glens Falls grad, resident on Paralympic ski team

Glens Falls High School Class of 2025 grad Lyndsay Strange has been named an assistant coach for the U.S. Paralympic Alpine Ski Team at the Paralympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina, Italy, March 6-15. She previously was head coach for the Mexico Alpine Ski Team for the past two Olympics in PyeongChang and Beijing.

One of Coach Strange’s athletes on the U.S. Paralympic team is Glens Falls resident Kelsey O’Driscoll, a registered nurse and adaptive ski racer. The Caldwell, N.J. native who grew up skiing at Gore Mountain sustained spinal fractures on a day of sledding with her family in 2021 and had to relearn how to walk, a bio on the U.S. Ski & Snowboard website says. She has since “relearned her love of skiing” using a four-tracker, a ski setup that uses two hand-held outriggers with small skis in addition to skis on the feet, the bio says.
