Maria Thomsen - Mom First, Snowboarder Second - Episode 122

Maria Thomsen - Mom First, Snowboarder Second - Episode 122   Can you balance life and follow your dreams at the same time? After sitting down and talking with Maria Thomsen the answer is a resounding YES! Snowboards have only been a part of her life since 2008 but it did not take Maria long to make her mark and become a professional athlete. Moving to Whistler from Denmark Maria would soon start filming with the Too Hard crew and from there she would go on to film another part in Jess Kimura’s the Uninvited which would lead to her being INVITED to compete in X-Games Real Snow - the only female in a crowd of men. She won “Female Video Part of the Year” at the Transworld Rider’s Poll Awards and “Breakthrough Athlete” at this year’s iF3 awards. Maria is on her way to big things in the world of snowboarding this year but as a mother of a five year-old boy she knows where her priorities lie. Maria shows snowboarders young and old how to make time for the important things in life.     Shout out to the sponsors of this episode Cardiff Snowcraft and Yes Snowboards.
