Samantha is a lifelong skier and winter enthusiast. She loves sliding on snow! She grew up in Bethel and, after stints out West and on the Maine coast, recently moved back to the area with her family. Sam is a runner and running coach and can often be found enjoying the many trails in the Bethel area, usually with one of her dogs. She is the Program Coordinator for Maine West Project Play and coaches the Middle School Nordic team. She is a USSS L100 certified cross-country ski coach, a UESCA certified running coach, ultrarunning coach, and endurance sports nutrition coach, as well as an ISSA certified strength and conditioning coach.

Katy loves coaching sports and spending time with kids. She has been involved in the Maine West/Bethel area youth Nordic ski programming since 2020. She’s currently the Telstar girls’ high school soccer coach and has coached many levels of soccer, Nordic skiing, softball, and running over the years. Katy works for Child Development Services in early intervention as an occupational therapist during the day. In 2024/5, both her children will be skiing on the Maine West middle school team.

Sarah is an NASM-certified personal trainer who loves to run and swim long distances. She arrived here in the Bethel area as an Outward Bound instructor, and since then, she’s been a ski patroller in our community for the past nine years. In the winter, when she’s not patrolling, she’s skate skiing or playing in the backcountry. She’s working on a Master’s of nutrition and dietetics and is very excited about taking this next step in a few short years!
