RIDER OF THE WEEK:

Claire Hewitt-Demeyer is our team daredevil. She can handle any terrain, and would rather attempt something outrageous than play it safe. Her cheerful, head-in-the-clouds personality makes her everyone's little sis.

Madison Blackley is, to put it simply, talented. She has taken the world of women's snowboarding and turned it upside down. With her tech riding and smooth style, she manages to ride as hard as the guys without looking like she's one of them.

Christina "CC" Curry is the classic triple threat; she surfs, skates, and snowboards. The Oregon native shows a real passion for snowboarding, and gets out riding as much as she can. In 2009, she took the Dew Tour by storm, beating out top riders to win the Rail Jam.

Diane Damra is the team's big sis. Her work ethic and positive attitude motivates everyone to keep riding until they get the perfect shot. She started snowboarding at 22 and with only 8 seasons under her belt is still progressing and riding as strong as girls half her age, showing women that you don’t have to be a teenager to become a sick rider.

Magalie Dubois is our first Canadian addition to the team. This smooth-styled, fun-loving rider excels on the competition circuit, giving a good show no matter what. But she really shines when it comes to here creativity, and is known for always getting unique shots.

Joanna "Pnut" Dzierzawski is a driven and gifted rider who's definitely going places. We first saw her in films from First Tracks Productions, where she was hitting huge street rails and road gaps right alongside the guys. In 2009, she took the major competition circuit by storm, with a series of podiums and wins.

Aimee Fuller, our UK rider, is intensely driven and determined. At 18, she's already making a mark on the European scene, with wins at the British Championships and a podium at the World Rookie fest. She competes in slopestyle, halfpipe, and boardercross… even though she lives in a country not traditionally known for it's snow.

Megan Ginter caught the snowboarding world's attention when she placed 3rd at the Abominable Snow Jam against a competition field of big name professional riders. Since then, this talented rider has easily transitioned into the professional competition circuit, and in 2009 took 3rd in the X-Games Slopestyle, and 2nd in the Canadian Open.

Mackenzie Matters is a Minnesota native who moved to Summit County, CO to progress her riding. Her attitude and skills in the halfpipe have been getting her noticed in competitions. Her background in ice hockey makes her an intense competitor; she rides hard and isn't afraid to throw huge spins.

Paige Rainear is the most stoked rider you will ever meet. After moving to Colorado last season, she surprised the locals by dominating the jib scene with a highly technical arsenal of tricks. Known as the energizer bunny, she's constantly working on new techniques, and she can take a lick better than the most hardcore guys.

Randa Shahin is intense, motivated and a perfectionist. Even after breaking her neck at the end of the 2008 season, a potentially career-ending injury, she started the season throwing down harder than most of the guys. The injury didn't seem to phase her: in 2009, she took on every rail jam and slopestyle competition she could.

Michelle Shea is the ultimate party girl of the group! We absolutely love it when we know Michelle will be on the hill. She has a creative and fun attitude, and is always coming up with something new to try. You'll never be bored when she is around - she'll push your limits and suggest stunts that you wouldn't have even thought of.

Kyla Sobieralski is an Aspen native who has been rising in the national standings over the past few years. In 2009, she took 4th in Halfpipe at the USASA Nationals, winning her an invite to the Project Gold camp, a training session for potential Olympians

Ashley Thornton is one of the toughest riders out there, but also the sweetest! Coming from a family of shredders, she is a tenacious competor who will charge anything. She made out great in every type of competition last season - from the Dirksen Derby, to the Honda Sessions Slopestyle. She even won a video clip contest sponsored by Nikita!

Erika Vikander has it all: she grew up riding in Montana, where she picked up some impressive big mountain skills, and can take on any terrain from cliffs and drops, to super steep stuff. She now resides in Utah, where she has upped her game in the terrain park, making her a force to be reckoned with on the competition scene.

Angela Halo Wilson moved from the East Coast to Tahoe to pursue a career in snowboarding. She excels at jibbing, but can handle any terrain. She competes in events ranging from freeride competitions to rail jams, but at heart she's a free spirit - she's up for any adventure and prefers to ride just for the fun of it.
