What Bern gear are you rocking this winter?
Right now: the White Muse.

What are your plans for this winter?
I'll do few important pipe contests all over, but hopefully lots of good times at home on Whistler since it's so good this year, riding powder with friends and doing photos.

Best trip you have taken in your career?
I went to Slovenia last year for a photo shoot with ƒlan Snowboards and it was an amazing experience with the people, scenery and culture. But I did go to Mexico with my best girl friend for a month in September to surf twice and day everyday and that was a real hard to beat trip.

What would you do if you were not a pro shred?
Hard to say, probably still living in Montreal, hopefully have a degree in Business and for sure I'd have some lame job since it would be impossible to beat being a full time board shredder doer.

Influences?
My parents

What are your bad habits?
I try not to eat my nails, but I do when I'm nervous. My room is usually a mess, but I actually find it comforting and I don't like showering that much...

What makes you happy?
A great day on the hill, learning a new trick, my friends, a good dinner with wine, a stimulating conversation, chocolate and afternoon naps.

What is your biggest fear?
To be grumpy and mean cause I'm hungry, not to be able to get over my fears.

What is in your Ipod?
Everything from classical to Slayer, from Madonna to 2Pac. You've got to have it all, because you'll never know what mood you'll be in.

Favorite food?
Thai

Favorite Movie of all time?
Princess Bride

Other Sponsors?
ƒlan Snowboards, Powder Room, Phiten Energy and Oakley Eyewear

Goals in life?
To always be happy where I am, with what I am and with who I'm with. Never have any regrets.
