My goals for the 2007 Canada Winter Games

To do the best that I can with the little experience I have in half-pipe. This season was the 2nd time I had ever dropped into a half-pipe.

My personal role model

Any girl that rides hard and has a smile on her face at the end of the day. Other gnarly role models include Gretchen Bleiler, and Tara Dakides.

Other information that could be of interest to the media

I'm really stoked to be at the Canada Games, this is definetly one of my greatest accomplishments. It is really ironic that this year (out of all my years snowboarding) I have had the most injuries. However, I have done my best to try and not let them take my mind off the prize. I hope throw down for Sasky and show Canadians that good snowboarders don't always need the best terrain to ride. This will be quite the experience considering I have little practice in the halfpipe. I can't wait to leave a mark in Whitehorse.
