Name: Erik Smith – Lead Coach, U14
Tell us about yourself: I grew up in Lake Placid, NY and learned to ski at Whiteface Mtn. I competed for NYSEF from the age of 7-19 and attended Northwood school. After years of competing in college, I was lured away and started a career in the golf business. Following many warm winters, I developed an overwhelming desire to be on snow and around ski racing again. I knew my racing days were behind me so I began my coaching career. I am looking forward to passing along some of the fundamentals I have learned over more than 20 years on snow.
