Andrea Nowack - Los Angeles EditorYears ago, her high school snowboard coach awarded her the “tough as nails award” for being the toughest women on team (an award she won 3 years running)… though looking at her you’d never guess. Born and raised in the South Bay but uprooted to Oregon at the age of 13, this past summer finally took her back to her Los Angeles roots. Her first time standing on a snowboard was at the age of 12, and she’s been hooked ever since. Since then, she’s tried just about everything that involves a board - wake, snow, skate; you name it, she loves it. When she’s not hitting the California coast, I suppose you could find her at work… She does digital communications at a PR firm in Santa Monica and is an example of someone who lives a truly technically-integrated life. In the words of Andrea (you can call her ‘Dre’) - ‘Yes, you CAN teach yourself to surf online - YouTube!’

Danielle Marie Helberg - Portland EditorThe first time she tried snowboarding she vowed she would never do it again. Cursed with an optical sunburn (and needless to say) she hated snowboarding because of it. Thankfully her big brother made her go again, and since then snowboarding has sculpted her life for the best. Through snowboard team competitions in high school with Andrea and Windells snowboard camps in the summertime, Danielle quickly developed an intense love and need for all board sports. Snowboarding has brought her and her high school sweetheart together forever and has taught the native Oregonian how to embrace and appreciate the constant Oregon rain. She works hard all week as an accountant in Downtown Portland so she can afford to snowboard all weekend long, wherever in the West her board may take her…

Rochelle Ann Baker - Contributing Writer .
Growing up in the Pac NW, Rochelle was always drawn to nature, hiking and being outside - which is why it is no surprise that with her first snowboard and old Vans boots, it was love at first tracks. Ever since she fell in love with the sport she has been living and breathing it. She works so she can afford to snowboard and snowboards to get her through her double shifts at the hospital. To say the least, this girl is dedicated. We could all stand to learn a little bit from this chick. Rochelle has mastered the work-life balance that all snowboarders simply dream of. While she is a CNA II on the weekends and a super star boarder during the week, Rochelle is able to beat the weekend warriors and get fresh tracks most every day! On top of the passion she has also got the skill! So sit back and enjoy her story, blogs and humor, because Baker is going to bring it to Westbound Boarder!!…———–————————————————————————————————————————–
