This week we share an intimate, inspiring interview with Elena Hight, professional snowboarder, two-time Olympian and X Games gold medalist. She opened up to us on what it's like to get ready for a competition, the importance of breath work for her athletic practice, and her top five favorite potions...
Sun Potion: As we find ourselves in the middle of “winter” in North America this is - seasonally - your time to shine as a professional snowboarder… What do you love about this season?
Elena: The thing I love most about winter is the peaceful feeling it brings. There is nothing like being in nature when there is a fresh snow blanket and everything is quiet. It’s a calm that I have yet to find any other time of the year.
SP: At 13 years old you were the first female to land a frontside 900 in competition, what do you think drove you to exceed at such a young age?
Elena: I have always been motivated by the unknown.... the excitement that comes with doing something that hasn’t been done before.
SP: Was there a certain moment you can remember that sparked your excitement about this path?
Elena: My dad taught me to snowboard when I was six. He has a contagious love for board sports, the outdoors and nature. He definitely passed that love along to me at a very young age through snowboarding... I remember wanting to make snowboarding my life from the very beginning.
