SNOW
Quebec native and self-proclaimed “hucker” Marie-France Roy has been snowboarding since the wee age of 11. Though she credits her big brothers for getting her started, it was only a matter of time before her style would get her noticed.
"MFR has been silently pushing the sport the last few years," says etnies teammate Leanne Pelosi, "and she's come a long way since sleeping in her car during her first season." In 2004, Marie turned pro and hit the ground running. The following year she took 1st place in slopestyle at the Nikita Chikita Snowdown, then 1st in slopestyle and best trick slopestyle at the Abominable Snow Jam.
Roy is one of the few female riders to successfully land a 900 and has also scored video parts and recognition in Romes “Any Means,” Runway Films “Lalaland” and Float. "I'm so stoked Marie-France Roy is finally on the team," adds Pelosi, "it's about time."
