How did you get started snowboarding?
I realized that skiing was not challenging enough.
What do you think of women's snowboarding today?  Where do you see it going?
I am glad that women are getting out there.  I love riding with girls that can rip in the park! 

What tricks do you plan on learning this year?
A back flip, cab 7, and a 270 on.
Any good stories of entertaining or embarrasing wrecks?
I was nose pressing a flat to down rail, I began leaning too forward, lost balance and ended up doing summer-salt over the rest of the box!

What do you think the worst snowboarding trend is?
I don't think there is a bad trend, we're all out there just jibbing.

Do you think style should get more credit in the contest circuit, or should tricks be judged mostly by their level of technical difficulty?
I think that style is everything, but if a girl throws down a cab five and the other girl does a frontside 360 with a indy grab, then I think the girl who spun a cab five should definitely win!

Up to anything other than snowboarding?
I am a very outgoing person, a few of my other hobbies are: Cliff jumping, long boarding, rock climbing, and skydiving!
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
Base Jump off a 300-foot cliff during a blizzard with my snowboard!
