Favorite riding story if you have one?

Why do you love to snowboard?
I really love to be outdoors in the mountains. I love riding with my friends and having fun. I’ve met so many new friends through snowboarding. I love the feeling of flying through the air and the freedom of it. I like that I get to express myself through snowboarding. It’s the best feeling when you get a new trick you’ve been working on.

Wakeboarding and skateboarding

What is your favorite area on the mountain? Jumps, rails, natural terrain?
I really enjoy riding the entire mountain but riding in the terrain park is a lot of fun.

Where do you see yourself in five years snowboarding wise?  Traveling to another country?
I hope that I’ll be able to travel more, I’ve met so many new people through snowboarding and on social media. I have friends all across the country and in different countries. I hope to one day be able to go to their mountains and ride with them

Do you have a pre-boarding ritual or something you need to have on you at all times on the mountain?
I have a favorite lucky pair of Neff, Bert and Ernie mittens that I’ve been wearing for the last 3 seasons. I wear them every time I’m snowboarding and whenever I’m competing in snowboarding, they give me good luck.
