Siobhan grew up in the mountains of Austria in a town nestled at the bottom of the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier. Her Mum and Dad worked winters as ski instructors at the local resort. As a kid, Siobhan got into ski racing before making the switch to Snowboarding. While her final years in school, Siobhan discovered a love for freeriding and began competing around the world in freeride competitions with successes in Canada and Europe. During that time, she completed her education as a Snowboard Trainer gaining the highest Snowboarding Education in Europe as the youngest female ever.

Siobhan brings a lot of experience as an Austrian Examiner and Trainer for Snowboarding Austria and Snowsports Academy. During winters in Europe, she’s a judge on the Freeride World Tour and mostly head judge at the qualifying events for the FWT. Siobhan also works part time in marketing as an athlete manager and in brand communications for a snow park company in Europe. Passion speaks for itself. Snowboarding has been Siobhan’s lifeline, from competing in freeride to being an international judge to studying sports science and becoming an examiner and trainer while still filming/shooting for video parts and/or advertisements and working behind the scenes in marketing for a snowboard- and ski-related company.
