About Jen
WRITTEN BY JEN HUDAK
Jen Hudak is a 22 year-old professional skier who grew up in Hamden, Connecticut and spent her early years skiing at Okemo Mountain in Ludlow, Vermont.
Family has always been a huge part of her life. Jen has one older sister (Cristina) who is now her best friend and roommate; and don’t forget mom and dad (Cathy and Paul), who supported Jen through the early years of her career. She dedicates her success to her family and says that she would be nowhere without their love and support!
She’s pretty sure that her dad wanted a son, but got her instead! From soccer and basketball to kayaking and climbing, she has pretty much done it all and is ever so grateful. Jen has learned so much about herself and about the world through participation in sports.
On a more personal level, Jen loves people. She enjoys watching people interact and even more, Jen loves to interact with people. The traveling that she has done throughout her young career has given her such brilliant opportunities to meet people from all different walks of life and she learns from every one of them.
Jen feels extremely lucky to live the life that she does, and is honored to share what she can with all of you!
