First snowboarding experience: My first try at snowboarding
was at Loveland pass Colorado. My older brother David had been on
a board for a few years and convinced me to try it out. While taking
a lesson I spent the day on my butt and became very sick from the
altitude. All together it was a horrible experience and I said I would
never get back on a board. Now I spend everyday snowboarding and I
wouldn't have it any other way.

What's the best thing about riding for an all girls Company?
What can I say girls know what girls like and need. It's a really
great feeling that you are being supported by an all girls company.
It just makes me want to push myself even more everyday.
Describe your daily routine: First things first,
every day starts out with a hot shower and a big breakfast, then I
hit the slopes to shred the half pipe for what my coach calls power
hours. 10 to 2 is spent hiking the park. We work on different things
depending what competition is coming up. After snowboarding all day,
I like to consume more food and have a relaxing night to power up
for the next day.
Any Last Comments? Snowboarding for me is not just
a hobby it?s a lifestyle, and I wouldn?t have it anyway. I really
appreciate all the companies that support me through all the hard
work and no matter where I am with riding there is always more to
learn.
