She Shreds now offers not only clinics, but also avalanche courses, occupational training (for Search & Rescue, RCMP, forestry employees etc.), snowmobile rentals and guided adventures. Based on out of Nelson & Pemberton BC she has also travelled all over BC to teach - Revelstoke, Golden, Valemount and out to Quebec and the USA.
She’s a mom, a partner and lover of animals with 1 dog and 3 horses to keep her busy and being able to share her passions to her family is nothing short of rewarding.
