WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY:I'm Kallie, I'm from Red Deer,AB. I've been snowboarding for 5 years now and its my passion, It makes my insides feel all warm and fuzzy! Its my freedom, that can cause pain sometimes but it would be no fun without the thrill! I could spend every day out playing on the hill if I could! But I can't.. ha, so when I'm not at school or boarding on snow, I'm working away at Empire Snow and Skate. When the summer months come I really enjoy longboarding, wakeboarding and I've always wanted to try surfing. I also like my new addiction, golf!! It keeps my mind off shredding for a few months at least!!
IF THE MOON WERE MADE OF CHEESE, WHAT KIND WOULD IT BE AND WHY: Swiss!! Hoping it would be like the ALPS and I could shred it all day and all night and meet Jenna Mae there!! But minus the big holes. I wonder if you would fall right through??!

PAST & PRESENT SNOWBOARD TRACK RECORD: I have been riding 3 seasons in Banff and 1 in New Zealand...I want to enter some more comps next season 'cause the couple I've done were really good fun and I tried new tricks. Mt Norquay could be my lucky hill 'cause I won a backyard rail jam there...my first comp!
WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY: erm...nothing special really, just a girl trying to make my life the happiest it can be by
doing the thing I LOVE to do the most...SNOWBOARD!! When I'm not riding I LOVE dancing, eating parsnips, playing cricket and drinking milk!
IF THE MOON WERE MADE OF CHEESE, WHAT KIND WOULD IT BE AND WHY: Some sort of wax based cheese, like Edam or perhaps a giant Babybel! Is it hot up there in space? Otherwise why else did it take off the little red wax jacket that Mummybel gave it to keep warm?!
