Newest addition to the team!

Darylee came highly suggested from our long time team member Erika Vikander. We listened. Darylee, a Swiss native, has been competing quite a bit last couple years taking top 3 in most contests. This season she aims to travel to and from Europe and the USA, plus has Japan on the books. Get it lady!

Q&A

1.) Where do you see the future of women's snowboarding going?

With Jamie Anderson and Anna Gasser the park level is already unbeatable. Working hard and a positive attitude sure does pay off.

2.) What have been some of your toughest challenges this past season? How did you overcome them?

A couple of injuries. Positive thoughts and friends made the challenge almost easy.

3.) What do you enjoy more; Backcountry or Park?

I am a Rail rat in the park. Not too much of a big jump girl, I rather hike up a peak to get some good earned turns in. Having a snowmobile in my garage drives me out to the backcountry more and more and living in breckenridge a lot of friends have one so it always ends up to be the best time.

4.) Favorite Discrete product?

Haven't tried any of the product just quite yet :p

5.) Favorite thing to do outside of snowboarding?

Running and Downhill biking. Also spending a lot of time with my puppy Coda bear

6.) When and where did you learn to snowboard? Who did you learn from?

On a small mountain in switzerland. My Dad used to work for Santa Cruz back in the day,so he would give me free gear from head to toe and taught me how to look good in fresh gear.

7.) Which athletes did you admire most growing up, and who do you look up to now?

Nicolas Mueller. He just has so much style and personality. Also my good swiss friend Isabell Derungs, she does rodeos like no other girl.

8.) Sponsors?

Smith Optics - INI Cooperative - Nightmare Snowboards - Streetowl Clothing - Discrete
