Not quite a winter Olympic athlete, Sally James is hoping to make it there one day (even if she's only watching the pros.). Brought up on the Queensland beach Sally knows her way around a surfboard but has found the thrill of the smaller snowboard an exciting and compelling challenge. She's given up the warn weather to become a snowboarding instructor and has worked in some of the biggest resorts in Australia and New Zealand as well as spending several seasons in France. Sally's background in surfing influences her freeriding style and her love of big waves has given her a thing for moguls. This Australian season will be her first off the board as she's currently too heavily pregnant, but she's using her time to write a snowboarding book especially for female boarders.
