Katie was a lifty last year and we were friends but became best friends this season!! She was there to pick me up from the airport when I arrived at Queenstown to take me to Wanaka. We had the same days off to go riding as I was her coach for the season. Katie was a skier but last season had the fear for some reason and did not enjoy skiing, so tried snowboarding and loved it!! This season she'd purchased her own board and boots, etc and was ready to rip it up on her board.
The first time on her board was when we were riding to the different lift stations on our training days, the conditions weren't great as lot's of chunky ice boulders as it hadn't been groomed yet but we talked her into riding down with me by her side the whole way as she was super nervous!! Well she did it, may have taken her a while and mainly side slipping but she did awesome taking that step to conquer her fear!!
She progressed so much this season, riding comfortably down with confidence, riding switch, carving, riding pow, steeps, hitting boxes in the park, doing flatland trickery spinning in every direction even switch, stoked :D Massive well done to you keep up the hard work this season in Morzine!!
Katie also sponsors Roxy and would like to thank them for letting her buy their clothes, 60-70% of the clothes she wears everyday is Roxy so if you would like to hire her as a Roxy model she would be super stoked with that....
Miss you FRIEND :) Thank you for an amazingly fun season!!
Here's an edit I made up of Katies riding....
