Coaches

Erin grew up in a ski racing and ski coaching family, racing in both high school and college. Her coaching career began in 1989 in Missoula Montana where she coached for Missoula Ski Education Foundation.  After graduation from U of M she returned to Bend and coached for Mt View High School for 4 years. Taking a break to raise a family she came back to coaching when her daughter started skiing for Bend Senior High. This is her 12th year coaching for Bend and Caldera.  Erin’s background in Athletic Training gives her a solid understanding of what athletes need to be successful ski racers. She creates a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where all athletes learn and thrive.

Kiersten is a proud Bend Senior High alum and lifelong member of the Bend ski community. A former four-year racer for the Lava Bears, she’s excited to return to the team as an assistant coach for her first season. Skiing is a family tradition and her family has supported or raced for the program across multiple generations.

Kiersten is passionate about helping student-athletes grow their confidence on and off the mountain, building strong fundamentals while keeping the spirit of teamwork and fun alive. When not on the hill, she is a hairstylist at Badlands Hair Studio and enjoys riding her bike and seeing live music.
