Sometimes the best wetsuit in the world can't help you deny the fact that it's cold out there. This time of year, we like to look to the mountains for a different kind of boarder– and the ladies who make it look so good.

Boarding since: Age 18.

You started a little later than a lot of the other girls—what compelled you to start?
I got a job as a chalet maid working in Tignes, France and have been snowboarding ever since.

What got you so hooked?
The adrenaline rush from hitting jumps, the feeling of progressing and learning new tricks and that exhausted-but-satisfied feeling of a great day on the hill.”

Biggest snowboarding misconception?
It’s not as cold as you think!

Meet all the ladies of the Boarder Patrol!
