A born and raised Alberta Girl, Erin grew up racing on all of our local slopes. She began when she was 6 years old and spent several years with various clubs before finally finding a home with the Kananaskis Alpine Racers when Nakiska opened to host the 1988 Olympics. Erin competed at provincial, national and even a few international races until the end of her 3rd year of FIS when she retired. She then began Coaching and completed her CSC Levels I and Level II while also attending the University of Calgary. After completing her BGS with a minor in Psychology and her Master of Teaching Degree Erin retired from Coaching to start a family.
However, skiing was always a part of her family’s life and once her girls were old enough to begin racing Erin made her return to Coaching. She was thrilled to return to snow and the world of racing as she was able to combine teaching and her love of skiing! Erin has spent the past decade and a half coaching and running programs at various clubs in the province. Over the years Erin has continued her coaching education, she is Park and Pipe Certified and Ski Cross Certified. She is a Level I and Level II Coach Evaluator, a Gliding Start Facilitator and a Level I Course Facilitator. In 2015 Erin completed her CSC Performance Level Training (Level III).
