Ep 8 - Marie-France Roy on balancing life, pro snowboarding, and environmental activism

In this episode, I chat to Marie-France Roy, pro snowboarder and environmental activist. We chat about:

• Marie-France's journey to going Pro + Whistler mountain culture in the early 2000's that enabled it
• Making decisions in the backcountry, stories of risk and injury
• Taking a stand for the environment and letting go of the expectation that you have to be perfect to be an advocate

Links mentioned in the conversation:

• More on Marie-France's cob-house on the West Coast of Vancouver Island
• Marie-France's documentary The Little Things - On environmentally conscious riders who are inspirational through their riding, as well as their sustainable ways of living and thinking. 
• Protect Our Winters Canada
• Dispatch from Fairy Creek - the protests against the logging of old-growth forests on Vancouver Island
