Erin Bodman - President
Board member since 2011

Erin has loved riding the trails in the Flathead Valley since moving to Whitefish in 2009. You’ll often find her riding her favorite trail, Maple Syrup, or trying to not get lost at Pig Farm. When she is not riding her bike, Erin does her best to keep FFT in order and has been the President since 2012. She is passionate about working toward keeping local trails open for biking and is proud of the work that FFT has accomplished over the years. Erin has been organizing and instructing women specific mountain bike clinics since the summer of 2013 and also volunteers for the Whitefish Trail Bike Patrol.

Chris Miller - Vice President
​Board member since 2011

Chris has been a Whitefish resident since 1991 and a mountain biking enthusiast for nearly 30 years, making him somewhat of a dinosaur in the industry, but not quite. Chris has been involved in trails and mountain biking advocacy both here and in other towns, and tries to bring the middle-aged perspective to a young sport. He has been on the FFT board for four years, including two as the Treasurer. His commitment remains long term to the sport he loves second to none.

Anders Broste - Secretary
Board member since 2011; former president

After serving as FFT’s president, Anders took his dream job as a product designer in the bike industry, in Minnesota. After two years, the lure of Montana and riding singletrack in the Flathead Valley called him back. Anders loves to ride for the sake of riding, digging in the dirt and clearing trail in the spring. Even when living in another state, Anders stayed involved and is back on the FFT board because he has biked all over the world and the trails here are hard to beat and wants them to be around for the long haul, for the future.

Dan Hansen - Treasurer
Board member since 2013

Dan has been riding bikes for nearly as long as he’s been able to walk and loves getting out on all the great local trails including his personal favorite, Otter Pop. He is stoked to be part of such a great group that promotes bicycling for everyone and hopes that through his involvement with FFT, he’ll be able to help expose more people to the sport of cycling that has brought so many good times to his life. He can usually be found on the trail or relaxing post-ride at a tailgate with a cold beer.

Noah Bodman
Board member since 2011

Between going to meetings and doing other “adult” things, Noah Bodman occasionally finds time to actually ride a bike. In addition to writing about himself in the third person, Noah enjoys rides that end lower than they start and involve lots of rooty, rocky singletrack in the middle. As Flathead Fat Tires’ defacto attorney, Noah treads the fine line of keeping the club from getting sued while not being a fun sponge.

Jeremiah Martin
Board member since 2014

Jeremiah grew up bushwacking trails around the Flathead Valley and jumped back on a mountain bike a couple years back to discover that bikes and trails around the valley had gotten ridiculously more fun. When not building a better internet, he tries to offset it with riding bikes, exploring new trails, more bushwacking and adventures with his family.

Mark Christensen
​Board member since 2014

Mark moved to the Flathead Valley from Salt Lake City in the fall of 2008. He works at a local bike shop and is a cycling fanatic. When not riding bikes he’s probably fixing them. Mark is one of the race organizers for the 24 Hours of Flathead and has participated in local bicycle repair clinics like FWP’s B.O.W. program. Always smiling, Mark is happy to talk about all things bicycle with anyone who will listen.

Ron Brandt
Board member since 2015

Ron migrated from the Midwest to the great state of Montana in 2000. After ten years in Bozeman he moved on to Bellingham, WA. But ever since he travelled to Whitefish as a young ski racer, Ron knew he wanted to live here and he was happy to make this dream come true in 2014. Ron has worked in the bike industry for 17 years. He likes talking gear and bikes over beers and pizza. Ron is a lifelong trail advocate and will pick up a shovel to help build trail anytime. You’re like to see him out exploring new trails with his dog, Dusty.

Josh Knight
Board member since 2015

Josh Knight likes bikes. Nowadays he spends most of his riding time picking up the kids from school, but when he can find time he loves to ride bikes and build trail. Much of that opportunity comes from his time as the Manager of the Whitefish Mountain Resort Bike Park. During his eight years the bike park he has worked to gain approval for and oversee the building of Runaway Train. He has since designed all trails and constructed them alongside the WMR patrol and trail crews.
