What did you think of snowboarding the first time you tried it?
I hated it! I cried and was cold. My stepdad said I could give up and put skis back on. I thought about it and was like no way and kept trying. After that, snowboarding became super fun and something I knew I wanted to do for a long time.

Contests or filming?
Both. I think contests are so fun. I like to travel to different mountains and meet up with friends. Filming is a new thing for me and I look forward to this winter.

Superpower of choice?
Wow, I get to pick? I would want all the super powers pit together in a bag of skittles. You eat one at a time and you never know what super power you get, that’s what I wish.

What’s the most annoying trend in snowboarding?
Ha, funny question, um I really don’t get annoyed too often, but being poor, is that a trend?

What are you most excited to do next season?
I am most excited to live in Breckenridge and snowboard every day with my friends and live with chihuahuas and Paige.

Favorite off-season activity?
Visiting my family

Pirates or ninjas?
Ninjas. Pirates are overrated.

Any advice for girls just getting started?
Yea, don’t give up, keep trying and smile lots.
