In her own words: Growing up at the best ski resort in the country has definitely made an impact on me. I’ve gotten to get out of school early almost every day since I was nine to go up to the hill and ride. Because of this, my love for snowboarding has grown and developed over the years, and I’ve gone from a park rider to a freerider that loves going fast. I love taking speed runs, and challenging my control by riding gates. I’m currently balancing schoolwork with riding, and I try my best to ride as much as I can in my free time.

From the workhorse's mouth:
My name is John Connolly, and I LOVE to snowboard in the Winter and skateboard in the Summer. I was born in Mammoth Lakes California, my favorite place to ride is Mammoth Mountain, but, I really like June Mountain because it has more powder. In 2012, I got 2nd place overall in USASA Nationals at Copper Mountain, Colorado. I 'm very grateful for my family, 6 pets, Mammoth skate parks, coaches/teachers, friends, soccer, my new dirt bike that my uncle is working on, and everything else that makes life GREAT.
