Lady Shredders Who Love Canada

The women on this list have their own unique connections to Canada but they love the country all the same. From the native snowboarders to the unexpected women surfers discovering the abundance of nature, these lady shredders love Canada.

Leanne Pelosi

Born in Calgary, Canada, professional snowboarder Leanne Pelosi can claim Canada all day. She earned her Bachelor's of Science studying Biomechanics at the University of Calgary and now lives in Whistler, close to some of the most shredable mountains in North America. She was one of the directors, producers, and riders of Full Moon so of course the ladies went to Whistler to snowboard some powder shoot some footage. Pelosi is a true Canadian.

Coco Ho

You might be surprised to find Hawaiian professional surfer Coco Ho in Canada. After all, it's not a destination for surf contests, but it's true, she digs Canada. Her boyfriend Mark McMorris is Canadian, and tours as a professional snowboarder, so they make time together whenever and wherever they can. McMorris spends a good deal of his time in Canada, he even has his own TV show on MTV Canada called McMorris and McMorris. Ho is known to strap on a snowboard and, not surprisingly, totally rip. Although she needs to layer up to keep her thin Hawaiian blood warm, she's definitely down to make a trip to Canada.

Spencer O'Brien

Professional snowboarder Spencer O'Brien is 100% Canadian, born in Alert Bay, British Columbia. She now lives in Vancouver on the West Coast of Canada. Her slopestyle career has been on fire, as she's trained yard and claimed five Winter X Games medals. On her instagram she posted a photo of a building painted with a native american mural and captioned it, "This place has a part of me. Thank you Alert Bay. ❤️""

Jamie Anderson

Jamie Anderson hails from South Lake Tahoe, California, but her other half was born and raised in Canada. Anderson has been dating Canadian Tyler Nicholson for around five years now. His folks and favorite nature spots are back in Whistler, Canada, so of course she joins him on trips back home. She's been spotted shredding Whistler in the winter and exploring waterfalls and watering holes in the summer. On Nicholson's Instagram bio he describes himself as "Canadian as it comes. 🇨🇦"
