I was stoked to find out that Lesley was in Laax last week,she was there doing research for her PHD, with maybe a little family holiday thrown in, as her partner and daughter were there too.I'd been planning on going to the Upbattle weekend and doing this interview then, but I feared that would be a heavy weekend, so I thought I'd nab the opportunity to get Lesleys story earlier than expected...

Lesley has so many facets to her personality, she is an activist, works in her community in Aviemore, works for Team GB, has just put out a short film with Patagonia called Thrawn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO3CkZDT9iw) is a mother and not least of all, a snowboarder...

A fascinating chat which, in a way, sits alongside Episode 2 - Melanie Leando as they share part of their journeys, but Lesley has used all her skills to help build the future rippers and help them win world class events, so I was stoked to hear her insights and get her take on snowboarding as it was, and as it is now...

Sadly I forgot to get onto her alternative career as a disco dancer! Enjoy.

If you need kit, call into The Snwboard Asylum and tell them you listen to this podcast: https://www.snowboard-asylum.com/
