Natalie Gough
Natalie Gough has traveled a path different from most riders in Whistler, BC. Holding her roots in Ontario, she finished her degree and pursued snowboarding full-time while gaining respect from her peers and the industry. I met Nat as a result of random encounters throughout my travels. She was everywhere in the last year or so, from Women's Superpark to New Zealand, back and forth to California, Colorado, Thailand and Argentina. She became my roommate this past season in Whistler and quickly established herself as an up-and-coming pro. From riding big jumps and starting to shralp powder to taking a beating and bouncing straight back, Nat's commitment to riding is immediately apparent. She's a humble gal and is fun to shred with because she is stoked to ride no matter what the conditions. Be sure to say hi to this cute brunette; she'll probably become your best friend. -Leanne Pelosi
