What did you think of snowboarding the first time you tried it?
The minute I had a board on my feet, I LOVED IT!!!

How do you feel about competing against girls who are much older (and probably taller) than you?
It was really intimidating at first but after a few comps I realized there is no reason to be intimidated because we’re all out there for the same reason, to shed the gnar!!!!!

What's the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you on a snowboard?
Being tangled in a rope after trying to ollie it while Molly Aguirre was watching

Would you prefer to boardslide a rail over a pit full of spikes and poisonous snakes, or shred the halfpipe while being chased by monkeys with guns?
Definitely shred the half pipe because I’ve been known to have ninja skills and I could probably take the monkeys on my own turf.

Cutest pro snowboarder boy?
Micah McGinnity

Pirates or Ninjas?
I support the pirate-ninja alliance

Most inspirational female shredder?
Torah Bright cause she does it for the love of the shred!

What do you eat for breakfast before a big competition?
