Episode 21: Meet Julie-Ann Chapman - Bad@$$, Professional Snowboarder & Owner She Shreds Snowmobile Clinics

Julie-Ann Chapman is a reminder that when you put your mind to something you can accomplish it - with hard work, discipline and a whole lot of fun. From a professional snowboarder in 2004 to a complete snowmobile rookie, Julie-Ann, has learned what it takes from the ground up to start a business in tourism and dominated in it! She is sponsored by Polaris & Klim, has been published in over 20 snowmobile magazines and been awarded from the House of Commons in Canada - BC Snowmobile Federation Snowmobiler of the Year. She has ventured through the backcountry and started She Shreds snowmobile clinics for women back when there weren’t many women in the industry at all. She Shreds now offers not only clinics, but also avalanche courses, occupational training (for Search & Rescue, RCMP, forestry employees etc.), snowmobile rentals and guided adventures. Based on out of Nelson & Pemberton BC she has also travelled all over BC to teach - Revelstoke, Golden, Valemount and out to Quebec and the USA.

She’s a mom, a partner and lover of animals with 1 dog and 3 horses to keep her busy and being able to share her passions to her family is nothing short of rewarding. 

 

Join us as we talk about the industry as a whole, what it was like being in a male-dominated sport and how she has persevered through it all to grow one of the best clinics in Canada. This episode is full of inspiration and incredible advice if you’re interested in the tourism industry and want to hear from one of the best.
