Alix

Well, you think I'd be good at talking about myself since I spend so much time talking about my products, but I am not good at taking the spotlight.  My perfect day would be waking up to coffee, meditation and yoga to prepare my body and mind for the adventure ahead, and finished off with a delicious feast with my best friends.  Whether it is powder or brown pow SNACKS are a must, if I get quiet, feed me:) Being a beginner at something is hard, but the reward is sweet so I work to better myself every day.

• How are you involved in the bike/ski world? What are ways you volunteer/give back within your community? 

  I make jewelry out of bike tubes, in the past I have judged and coached free skiing and am an ambassador for Fischer skis. I am actually on the search for new ways to give back in the bike world, considering our mobile status and how we could reach so many more folks. ABD is a 1% for the planet member!
