If you had one wish what would it be: The selfish answer would have to be, no more work, endless wealth, good health and being able to ride when and where I want with my husband and friends. My beauty pagent answer would be to end global suffering.
Perfect riding day: Best day I’ve had is storm day at Snowbird, nobody on the hill and « free refeills » every run ! Best dream day would be blue bird, heli laps in Alaska with my husband, closest friends, Jamie Lynn, Travis rice with perfect snow conditions.
Hike or Helicopeter: Helicopter ! I do love a good hike though…
Beer or Wine: Beer


My green effort for the planet : I am very happy and appreciate that the FWT is making the conscientious effort towards being green!
I do work on improving on our environmental concerns every day. I initiated and run the recycling program at the Veterinary hospital that I work and we are avid recyclers at home. I live in a high alpine desert and need to be very conscious of the amount of water we use, we do this by drought tolerant landscaping, catching rain water and taking short showers.
We drive very little and commute with friends to the mountain.
I ride for Lib Tech Snowboards made by Mervin Manufacturing which is the "world's most environMENTAL snowboard factory".
