“Snowboarding to me is an expression of Freedom, it’s a form of creativity, it’s a way for me to learn about myself and create a relationship within and with the spirit of the mountains. Snowboarding is an expansion of friendship and kinship, it connects me with the people I love. Snowboarding brings me Joy, snowboarding challenges me, snowboarding calms me and excites me all at once. I love snowboarding to my core as it’s my roots and allows me to grow. I’m beyond grateful to be in a position to share snowboarding and help a community to discover its essence through YES.”
