Injuries:

21 August 2019: Tore anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Had reconstruction surgery and the planned nine-month rehab and time off of snow was extended to 13 months due to the COVID-19 shutdown of mountains and resorts in Canada. "This was a really hard time for me, mainly mentally because I have never had so much time away from snowboarding. But after working hard throughout my rehab and taking a longer time to get back on snow, my knee is back feeling strong and good as ever." (Athlete, May 2021)

National team:

May 2019

Start:

Started snowboarding at age three with her parents at Beaver Valley Ski Club in Ontario, Canada. Started competing at smaller competitions around 14 years old. (Athlete, May 2021)

Reason:

Loves the adrenaline with park riding, getting air time, and trying to slide around on other features. "Getting a new trick or just having a fun day boarding is the most satisfying feeling I've ever had and nothing compares to it. The park rider community is filled with fun-loving super chill people and I have met most of my good friends through snowboarding." (Athlete, May 2021)

Ambition:

Compete at Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games and at X Games. "I want to be a role model for younger girls and help promote women in snowboarding. I also want to take part in the spiking progression going on in women's slopestyle and big air." (Athlete, May 2021)

Training:

Snowboarding almost every day, going to the gym, stretching, doing yoga, eating well and "getting lots of sleep. Staying fit and healthy is a huge contributor to my mood and overall wellbeing." (mshealthandfitness.com)

Memorable:

Finishing first at the 2019 World Ski & Snowboard Festival Big Air in Whistler. (Athlete, May 2021)

Hero:

Snowboarder Spencer O'Brien (CAN), two-time Olympian (2014, 2018), 2013 slopestyle world champion.

Snowboarder Jamie Anderson (USA), two-time Olympic slopestyle champion (2014, 2018), 2019 World Championships bronze medallist.

"All of the women in snowboarding are huge role models to me and I have so much respect for every one of them for dedicating a huge part of their lives to snowboarding and for paving the way for more and more girls to get into the sport. Spencer O'Brien (CAN) and Jamie Anderson (USA) have done an amazing job with this and continue to be important influencers in the snowboard world." (Athlete, May 2021)

Influence:

Parents and her first park coach John Blanchard (CAN) "for pushing me from the beginning and helping me believe in myself and reach my potential." (Athlete, May 2021)

Ritual:

"I always drop into the same song for practice days at contests, and the same song when I do my runs." (Athlete, May 2021)

Philosophy:

"Find ways to win, not reasons to lose." (Athlete, May 2021)

General Interest

HOW TO GET BETTER
She thinks about snowboarding all day every day. "I think about where I want to be with my riding by the end of the day, how much I want to progress by the end of the week, where I want to travel to best improve my riding in the shortest amount of time by the end of the season, and so on. I’m in the gym to get better at snowboarding, I meditate to get better, I eat healthy to get better, I get physio to get better, I stretch to get better, I discuss with my coaches daily how to get better, and I definitely choose the right gear I need to get better. From a good helmet to comfortable outerwear, to an aggressive board, I specifically choose what gear I use to help me improve." (snowboardingprofiles.com, 6 Nov 2020)

FAVOURITE SNOWBOARDING RESORT
Whistler Blackcomb in BC, Canada. "I loved the mountains and park there so much I moved out there a bit over a year ago and don’t plan on leaving any time soon. The park crew there is always on point with their builds, and pow days at Whis are unreal. Even if it’s not the best weather you can’t have a bad day riding there." (snowboardingprofiles.com, 6 Nov 2020)
