“What I love about snowboarding is the creativity and freedom it gives me. Whenever I am boarding, nothing else matters. Snowboarding lets you put your own style and twist on your riding... I love escaping to the mountain and riding my snowboard however I want.”
When Zoe isn’t throwing a Fakie or a Poptart, or competing on the DEW Tour (where she finished 4th at the Women’s modified half pipe) you can find her hiking and adventuring through the mountains in Salt Lake City. A self-described fun, flirty and festive rider (the 3 F’s), Zoe spends her winters training out at Avon, Colorado & listening to Future, Migos and Travis Scott while riding.
Like many snowboarders Zoe started skiing at 2 but switched to snowboarding at the age of 5 when she begged her Dad to teach her. Being the only snowboarder on their home mountain Zoe would watch her Dad in awe and luckily her pestering paid off as she made the switch – safe to say she has not looked back. (A special thanks to Zoe’s Dad for being such a legend!)
After a ride you can catch Zoe sipping on a chai latte with extra cinnamon or a hot chocolate, stretching, eating lots of yummy healthy food, reading and cuddling her 13-year-old Labradoodle. FYI this poochie has some serious street cred as he joins Zoe at training days and pipe competitions.
No doubt Zoe is one to watch and is making some serious noise on the pipe. She supports animal welfare and environmental social causes and is a beautiful human inside and out! We know Zoe is just scratching the surface of her potential and we are so proud to have her on the ROJO team.
“It is one of the warmest, most comfortable winter coats I have ever owned! God bless ROJO for that.”
Gold Medallists at the Women’s halfpipe, Sochi, Russia Olympic Games
“I love being in the mountains! When I put on my snowboarding gear it makes me feel like a superhero. I am invincible when I am in the mountains!”
Kaitlyn is a proud POW (Protect Our Winters) and B4BC (Boarding for Breast Cancer) ambassador, a Whitefish, Montana local. Growing up in the mountains and following her sister’s transition from skiing to snowboarding like all younger siblings she fell in LOVE with the sport.
A fun and flowy rider Kaitlyn loves to pop some Ally Op Backside 540’s or a cheeky hand plant and has not only conquered the pipe but now has set her sights on exploring beautiful and untameable back country locations around the world! So far, her adventures have included summitting Denali in 2016 and 24 volcanos through the Cascade Mountain Range and she still finds time for climbing, swimming, hiking, fishing and guiding around the world. Basically Kaitlyn loves to adventure as much as she can with good friends.
“ROJO makes so much more than just snowboard clothes and that’s what I love! I feel cute and confident in every piece of clothing I have!”
“I love the playful, flowy feeling beneath my feet. I like to express my own creativity and style through snowboarding. I am so grateful for all the experiences I have had to travel the world and meet new friends along the way because of snowboarding”.
Jessika admittedly first learned to snowboard as, “it was the cool thing to do, all my friends were doing it”. Clearly, she hasn’t looked back since first strapping in and has since represented the states in two Olympics!
A self-described fun and free rider, you can catch Jess throwing a backside 720 at resorts across Idaho/Utah. Although she writes that her local mountains, “are my home” she notes, “I love travelling and exploring new places in the backcountry especially with my Timbersled! My favourite place is the Grand Teton Range in Wyoming! I can always find the goods and untouched stashes there!”
Like a true mountain lover, over the summer you can catch Jess mountain and dirt bike riding, rock climbing, wake boarding and adventuring all with her friends.
Favourite ROJO styles:
#1 Sprinter in Australia; Current Aus/NZ Continental Cup winner
“I love where skiing takes me outdoors, I love the contrast between the most beautiful blue bird weather to even the most howling blizzard days. As a cross country skier, you have to love the hurt and grind, the desire to be the best I can be is what keeps me grinding.”
Kat started cross country skiing as soon as she could walk, her parents being dual Winter Olympians in the same sport may or may not have influenced this... Kat would like to insist that she was not forced into it at all saying “It was just something we did as a family”.
Kat is based in Falls Creek, Australia and then Davos, Switzerland for her winter/winter lifestyle and has collected some extraordinary experiences over the years with her sport has taking her to some unique places including, Siberia, Kazakhstan, Romania, and China!
Her riding mantra “Look good, feel good” clearly works for this lady who finished 32nd in her last world U23 championship!
She loves listening to Kanye, or any sort of techno or goa? when sprinting on the track.
Working as a ski patroller and likes to mix up her usual xc trails with some alpine skiing when she can. She also has 5 horses, a dog and a cat and supports equality for all beings.
“I love everything but if I had to name one thing it would be my Sherpa Black Hoodie, I love how warm it is, it’s like a coat”.
#3 Halfpipe AUS – 90 world
#3 Big Air AUS – 86 world
#4 Slopestyle AUS – 122 world
“I love the creatively and freedom snowboarding brings, especially freestyle snowboarding where every run can be a different combination of tricks.”
When Alex isn’t supporting Australia in the Youth Olympics or travelling to Colorado or Austria to train over the Aussie down season, you will catch her studying at her University in Sydney, Australia and hanging out with friends with an Iced soy latte in hand.
A self-described relaxed, playful and graceful rider, Alex’s favourite trick is a front 3 and learnt to ski when she was just 2 years old at Thredbo! She later switched to snowboarding when she was 9 after begging her parents.
One of her favourite places her sport has taken her is Absolut Park in Austria; “It is one of the coolest mountains with the best parks I’ve ridden!” (We definitely have to agree with her on that one).
When asked what causes Alex supports, she replied: “Personally, I support stopping the Asian hate crimes which are extremely prevalent in America right now. Being Asian myself, it is extremely hurtful to see the increase in hate and violence towards Asians, furthermore, it is scary to think that any of these Asians receiving violence could be a relative or family member of mine. I am also very proud to be a part of ROJO’s ongoing support for B4BC (Boarding for Breast Cancer) and will continue to support this cause!”
Australian Open Age Ranking: 5th; 1st U20 Female in Sprint events Australia; 2nd U20 Female in Distance events Australia
“I love how cross-country skiing combines my passion for skiing with endurance sport. It is a sport that can look so graceful, yet it is so challenging. You have to be mentally tough and extremely fit. I love the feeling of crossing the finish line and collapsing on the ground in exhaustion, knowing I have given it my best shot. I also love that I get to spend hours outdoors, particularly in the alpine environment. I have a slight obsession with sunrises and sunsets – there’s nothing like skiing with a pink sky, fresh snow and some tunes.”
Emily began Alpine skiing when she was just 4, thanks to her beautiful mum’s passion for the mountains. At the age of 12 her best friend asked her to compete in the school’s relay team but when she put on her cross-country skis for the first time she spent most of the day on the ground absolutely defeated. However, she kept at it and learnt to love the sport! Just two years later she qualified as the youngest member on the Australian junior cross-country team and has been training 6 days a week year-round ever since.
Emily’s favourite event at the moment is a skate sprint. A skate sprint is where individuals do a time trial as fast as possible around a 1.2km-1.8km racecourse and then progress into head to head heats. Each race takes around 3-4 minutes and is exhausting and exhilarating.
A powerful, tactic and speedy skier Emily is based at Perisher, NSW and Davos, Switzerland for her winter/winter lifestyle. Lucky for Emily, Davos is her winter paradise; “It is breathtakingly beautiful and has hours of trails through valleys and forests to ski. The town lights up at night with all the cute traditional houses in the mountains and has the most beautiful sunsets.”
Emily is also studying a Bachelor of Health Science at the Australian National University and is a proud advocate for climate change and the role winter sports can play in this conversation; “I support Protect Our Winters (POW), a climate advocacy group for the winter sports and outdoor community. They act against climate change to ensure the protection of our precious alpine playgrounds!” What an absolute gem!
“I am obsessed with my black Maggie Boots. They’re so pretty, warm and perfect for winter whether you’re walking through a winter town or trudging through some deep fresh snow.
I’m so grateful to have ROJO’s support. I love that the brand represents a strong group of women who all get out there in our beautiful outdoor environment. I feel so lucky to be a part of this community.”
#1 in having the most fun
On why she loves her sport: “Obviously, all the people you meet and the places you get to travel! But also having something that’s given me purpose for so much of my life. Everything has always revolved around planning the next trip, saving for anything snowboarding related, keeping fit and healthy for snowboarding. I feel lucky to have that.”
Amber’s riding has taken her all over the world and some of her favourite places she has ridden includes Iran and Kazakhstan! While in Iran Amber also filmed a documentary called “Persian Powder” which has been played at international film festivals and won best picture at the Women’s Adventure Film Festival. Oh yeah, and she did all of this plus competing internationally while undergoing her Bachelor's degree!
A fast and fun rider, Amber is proving that age is just a number (dirty thirty say what?!) as she is learning how to backflips for the first time, although she isn’t claiming it just yet so watch this space! (We think that since she has been riding for 20 years that she has this in the bag). Her favourite trick would have to be a smooth back-5 but these days Amber sticks to free riding and loves a good cliff drop!
Amber’s go to order is a small double-shot cappuccino and when she isn’t on the snow Amber spends her time surfing!
“I work with a lot of people in aged care and disability sectors, so I'm a big supporter in improving the treatment, lives and awareness for those living with a disability.”
“Being on the mountains and feeling the freedom and the satisfaction of being surrounded in nature is why I love snowboarding”.
Martina learnt to snowboard with her best friend on a little hill close to Munich in Germany over 20 years ago. A self-described motivated, passionate, and powerful snowboarder you can catch Martina exploring the resorts of Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Winning the Austrian Masters and Chill & Destroy German finals are some of her best achievements to date. And when Martina isn’t riding you can catch her surfing and wake boarding and supporting social causes such as Youth snowboarding development.
Favourite ROJO style:
1st Place – Slopestyle National Australian Championship
“It is a very fun sport and I like that I get to learn new tricks”
Lilly started riding when she went to the snow for a family holiday and explains that her passion totally escalated quickly from there! Although she has only been riding for 4 years, she has already been making some noise in youth competitions and has even taken out the #1 spot in Slopestyle at the National Australian Championships!
Lil is usually based at Perisher or Thredbo NSW, Australia for the season and her favourite mountain is Copper Mountain, USA.
Lilly describes her riding style as fun, random and creative and her signature trick is a method.
When she isn’t riding Lilly goes to highschool, hangs out with her friends and trains for the next snow season. She also loves to draw and take photos, her beverage of choice is a cup of tea and has a cute dog named Wiggy.
Although Lilly lives the back to back winter lifestyle, she enjoys surfing in summer and going to the beach. Lilly is a proud supporter of Women’s rights.
“ROJO is such an awesome company and make the best snowboard gear. I am always warm, comfortable, and feeling great in my ROJO gear. Thank you.”
3rd USASA National Championship halfpipe
“I love snowboarding because it gives me a sense of freedom and adrenaline. Most of all it’s fun and provides a great community to be a part of!”
Growing up Strat’s family was always very snow orientated, she was originally a skier however, her super cool cousins thankfully threw her on a snowboard when she was about 10 and she’s been shredding ever since.
She loves throwing a Tamedog (front flip) in the pipe and it comes as no surprise that her self-described riding style is adventurous, stylish, and fast. Strat’s favourite place to ride is Copper Mountain, Colorado; “The parks, the pipe, the village and the people are awesome there”. She also loves Cardrona, New Zealand for the same reason.
When she isn’t on the mountain you can catch Caycee surfing, on a trampoline, playing Frisbee golf in Jindy, getting a hot choccie, and hanging out with friends. Her riding playlist is dependant on her mood and what she is doing; “If it’s a chill mountain day, just cruising around, I’ll be listening to Lime Cordiale, Jungle Giants or Ocean Alley. On competition or training days I listen to Fischer, ACDC and Valentino Khan.”
To top it off, Caycee is also a proud environmental supporter; “I strongly support looking after our environment and reducing my carbon footprint. I recently swam with turtles in Indonesia and saw first-hand how the pollution was affecting their home. I am big on keeping our oceans clean and I follow the motto ‘Take 3 for the sea’; picking up at least 3 pieces of rubbish whenever I’m at the beach.”
“It’s so hard to pick a favourite as everything I own of ROJO is amazing! One of my favourite ROJO products is the Va Va Boom Pant as it’s so stretchy and allows me to move freely and easily. Another favourite of mine is the Sherpa ¼ zip jacket. It’s so warm and looks so good! I also think their outerwear is extremely functional. I genuinely think that ROJO is one of the best snow apparel brands out there!”
Boardercross and Slopestyle rider; 2nd in the Australia/New Zealand Cup; 8th in the Europa Cup
“It’s not something everyone has the opportunity to do so I am grateful for every day I spend up in the mountains.”
Georgia has been skiing since she was 2 and then taught herself to board when she was 8 with her signature moves consisting of a backflip in slopestyle and speed in boardercross. Georgia is a cruisy, all mountain and fun rider who loves to listen to a bit of rap music (let’s face it who doesn’t?!) G lives in Jindabyne, NSW, Australia year-round with Perisher as her home base. However, her favourite resort of all time would have to be Big White.
Georgia is currently doing her diploma in beauty therapy and has a little teacup Chihuahua named Bentley and a little Jack Russell X Foxie called Mia.
In the summertime you can catch Georgia with an iced chai in hand while she jet skis or travels overseas chasing the snow.
“My Mainstreet Microfleece shirt or my fluffy Sherpa jacket – they are equally comfortable and warm to ride in!”
2012 Australian Athlete of the Year
“I love riding because of the places you go and the people you meet”.
Lauren is “always seeking adventure” and loves to pop a nice switch back 180 on a kicker – it is her favourite trick and who can blame her it is ours too! As a kid her family used to take snow trips together and her passion grew from there.
Lauren has always felt at home in the mountains and often visits her family farm in Merrijig, at the base of Mt Buller in Australia but the place Lauren describes as having “the most amazing mountains” is Breckenridge, Colorado.
When she isn’t on the hill Lauren paddleboards, hangs with her toy Maltese poodle Terra, studies psychology and runs a beautiful home wares and gift shop with her Mum. What a smart cookie!
As well as proactively supporting, working and volunteering in the mental health and wellbeing space she is passionate about corporate social responsibility ”particularly sustainability of the environment, ethical labour and animal welfare.”
She is also a big fan of some spaghetti toast and a chai latte (Love you Lauren, never change).
“The main street microfleece shirt is perfect for spring and winter riding”.
