Pro Snowboarder Leanne Pelosi is one of the best Slopestyle riders on the scene. This rail crasher started her career strong, winning Transworld Snowboarding's 2004 Rookie of the Year award, and hasn’t let up since.
Along the way, she’s managed to pile on the sponsorships (Monster, Dakine, K2, etnies girl), start a snowboard camp exclusively for girls, and founded her own production company, Runway Films.
Not too shabby for a twenty-eight year-old. FUEL.TV grilled this hucking Canuck about life, Lady Gaga, shotgunnin’ beers, and why she might be the best thing to come out of Canada.
FUEL.TV: Describe your most extreme sledding experience - (Bonus points will be awarded if a non-traditional sled was used.)
LEANNE: I don't know if this is extreme or not but I rode my sled over a lake for the first time last spring. That was fun, but wet.
FUEL.TV: There's a rumor that you're a tree-hugging environmentalist. Which we totally support. What's your biggest environmental pet-peeve?
LEANNE: When people litter!
FUEL.TV: If you could pillow-fight any lady that ever existed- who would you brawl?
LEANNE: Lady Gaga. She looks feisty.
FUEL.TV: If you were going to write something on a bathroom stall - what would it be?
LEANNE: “You sleep when you're dead.”
