Jared Anderson

This week, Kendra sits down with Jared Anderson, a longtime leader in Alberta’s snowboard community and the driving force behind Riders On Board. Jared reflects on how the club grew from a small family-run program into a province-wide snowboard community, creating pathways for riders of all ages and abilities. From first mountain laps to Olympic dreams, the conversation explores how snowboarding builds confidence, creativity, and lifelong connections on and off the hill. This episode is about fostering a positive and inclusive culture where kids learn not just how to ride, but also how to respect the mountain, support one another, and fall in love with snowboarding for life.
