Marie-France Roy (MFR) | The Bomb Hole Episode 196
Description
Long anticipated guest, titan and pioneer of back country snowboarding, Marie-France Roy makes her Bomb Hole debut in our 196th episode and you won't want to miss this one. She takes us back to her childhood and early career where she was not only discouraged from participating in sports like snowboarding and skateboarding, but directly told girls weren't allowed. Lucky for us, she didn't take no for an answer. Continuing her long and heavily accoladed career, MFR blesses us with her infinite wisdom and shares some of her highlight moments. Now, with preservation, activism, and environmentalism at the forefront of her scope, she remains a prominent voice and rider in the snowboard community. Find out how she does it and how she got here on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!
