Date of Birth: January 2, 1978

Erin’s life began in Truckee, California at the edge of big blue Lake Tahoe. With a variety of mountains at Erin’s disposal, winter sports became second nature to her. She began skiing by age two and racing by age four. At age twelve Erin became obsessed with snowboarding. In order to keep her focused at school, Erin’s parents rewarded good grades with the number of days she could spend snowboarding a week. Being the good student that she was, her straight A’s racked up six days a week of snowboarding!

Erin has always been a great athlete and student. She played soccer at San Jose State before transferring to the University of Utah where she finished up her degree in Communications and graduated in 2004. In 2002 Erin began snowboarding at Park City Mountain Resort and became a Park City All-Star in 2003. She resides in Salt Lake City just 20 minutes down Parley’s Canyon from Park City.  
Erin’s snowboarding began to pick up steam after moving to Utah. In 2002, she gained a spot on the Roxy snow team and has received consistent editorial and ad exposure in every major snowboard publication. Erin placed second in the rail competition at the 2004 U.S. Open and took first prize at the 2004 Red Bull Heavy Metal Rail Jam. The 2006/2007 season was one of Erin’s most successful. She was filmed for two snowboarding flicks: Runway Film’s “La La Land” and Roxy’s first-ever all-women’s ski and snowboard team film “Labor of Love.” Erin has also been featured in the Vans movie, “A Lucid Dream,” and Misschief Films “Ro Sham Bo.”  She has been featured in both Park City Mountain Resort films, “City. Park City.” and “I Ride Park City,” which were both official selections of the X-Dance Film Festival in 2007 and 2009.
Her editorial  coverage in core snowboarding’s core publicatons has been impressive. She was featured on the cover of the 2004 Buyer’s Guide for Snowboarder Magazine and the cover of the Finish snowboard magazine, Slammer.

During the 2007 summer, Erin went to the High Cascade summer snowboard camp in Mt. Hood, OR to coach her Signature Session. While she was there, she took home the gold medal at the fourth annual Burton Abominable Snow Jam. She headed back to Mt. Hood this past summer and won again at the inaugural Spin Cycle contest where riders were judged on spinning all four ways.

None of this has come easily for Erin, there were a lot of bumps and bruises, and not to mention stitches, along the way, but it is all well worth it. Erin is grateful for having the opportunity to make a living off of what she loves most, snowboarding. She loves traveling to different countries, exploring new terrain, and learning about new cultures.
