Izzi has an infectious love of snowboarding, everytime I"ve seen her, she has a big smile on her face and you can tell she is so stoked on snowboarding. We met at the Spring Break and I'm sure Shannon from the TSA had mentioned her, so we got chattng and I found out she runs meet ups for snowboarders, which, I'd never really thought was a thing. Back in the day, you just went where there was snowboarders and you got chatting. But I guess these days, with higher social anxiety, amongst other problems, people want to feel like they will be safe and putting on social events is a great way to welcome more people into our great world.

Through her social events, there is a burgeoning crop of people who just love snowboarding and the people around it and are finding 'their tribe' which is great to see, and The Reason magazine championed that in the latest copy of their magazine.

Snowboarding in the UK needs people like Izzi to keep the community alive, we all live such disparate lives, but getting together with fellow snowboarders is always a joy, so if you need companions for the shred, take a look at https://www.instagram.com/snowcone.social/?hl=en-gb
