What’s an average day for you like? I spend most of my days doing mom stuff for my beautiful girls, and in my spare time I make chainsaw carvings and snowboard.
What is the most difficult part of your activity/sports for a beginner? The easiest? The hardest part for a beginner is intimidation that needs to be overcome, and the easiest part is the fun that just starts to come when you get the hang of it.
What would you like to see change in your sport to make it better for you and other female athletes? It seems pretty good to me.
What are your favorite brands/designers for your sports apparel and for stepping out? SheShreds!
How dangerous do you really think it is compared to what people do in their regular activities? I believe that snowboarding is no more dangerous than any other activity. To the average person, snowboarding appears to be a bunch of hooligans hucking themselves off of junk, and by some miracle, landing it. But for me, snowboarding is very calculated, and you have to build up to the different levels of snowboarding.
I bet in your experience you have seen some crazy crashes. Describe one. This might seem a bit contrary to my last statement, but.... My husband and I were on a board demo trip for Humanity Snowboards, and the very first jump was a 30ft table top that my husband didn't check out before he hit it. He went about 60ft past the nuckle of the jump, landing way in the flat nocking him completely unconcious, and stopping his breathing for awhile. Needless to say, I was a bit freaked out. But he survived, and we still love snowboarding together.
