We first met Anne at Mountain Creek in 2018, during our first official season of BTBounds. Over the past decade, we were lucky enough to snowboard and spend time with her all over North America and on a trip to Chile, too. Anne’s love of snowboarding and of sharing experienced in the mountains, and her belief that everyone should have access to riding, set the foundation for so many friendships and great impact in our community.
When we first met Anne, we clicked right away with her New Yorker energy. She was like an electrical current: fast-moving, powerful, and able to charge up those around her by sharing her excitement and her belief in their specialness.
Anne was beautifully fierce. She was steadfast in challenging herself no matter how intimidating the trick or new endeavor, in the mountains and life in general. She was generous in sharing her joy. She was dedicated to the pursuit of growth, in snowboarding and as a person.
She was a loving mother and wife, often sharing her excitement for her son’s endeavors with us. She was an amazing conversationalist, combining intellect and empathy in every interaction.
She was a connector of people, bringing together friends across time zones through the love of riding. She was a snowboarder’s snowboarder. She loved to be in the mountains and loved snowboarding culture—over the time we knew her, she became an vocal advocate for women in snowboarding, heralding the riders, videos, events, and brands that were pushing things forward.
And above all else, Anne was selfless and unwavering in her support of others, whether she had known them forever or just met. She recognized something in what we were trying to do before we were able to put it into words and we were far from the only ones to be on the receiving end of the way that Anne gave to those around her. It was not unusual for her to help others reach their snowboarding dreams by providing resources, and at every camp, contest, and event, she was the first to cheer for everyone else, whether their accomplishments were big or small—because she recognized them as outsized, always.
