I don’t believe you don’t know Anne-Flore.

What? You really don’t know who Anne-Flore Marxer is?
 Ok then, let’s talk about women’s snowboard history, because Anne-Flore has marked the history of snowboarding by being a leading and outspoken proponent for woman’s riding. Her sustained support was the catalyst triggering the policy of equal prize money split between men and women in the TTR tour end of season prize purse.

With powerful and fearless riding, Anne-Flore is amongst a handful of ladies who have stepped up to street rails, backcountry and larger jumps with success and style. On the hill her explosive riding has placed her on the fast track of progression. Anne-Flore started making a name for herself by entering a couple contest and winning, since then she has dedicated her winters to filming, earning the respect of the international snowboard scene by getting opening video parts in leading film productions.
