Our former editor (now turned senior editor at Mpora) skated badly as a kid, then fell for snowboarding big time in her early 20s. Seasons in Chamonix and a love of surf followed before she was cruelly posted back to London, where she pines for mountains and waves daily like a wolf with a moon backdrop. Riding her bike helps. Update! She now lives by the sea in Brighton but still howls for the peaks
