Natalie Allport is a professional freeride snowboarder and former Team Canada slopestyle athlete. After stepping away from competitive snowboarding for nearly a decade, she returned to the sport in her 30s, becoming freeride champion of the Americas and representing Canada on the world stage (FIS World Championships, Freeride World Tour). With the mountains at the centre of both her career and community, Natalie supports Protect Our Winters Canada’s work to protect the places and winters that make snow sports possible. She believes athletes have a unique platform to inspire action and help ensure future generations get to experience the mountains, winters, and outdoor sports that have shaped her life.
