Thu, Jan 3 2008 6:00 pm | Comments Colleen isn’t good for a girl, she’s good for a snowboarder. She’s an all-terrain vehicle-pipes, powder, rails, jumps, wallrides, quarters, hips-she does it all, and she can get up from a fall and keep cruising. Those qualities and her awesome attitude made Colleen a standout at our 2008 Good Wood board test at Copper Mountain. She spent this past season shacked up with Hana Beaman in Salt Lake City fine-tuning her skills. Hana has this to say, “Colleen makes whatever she does look effortless, she’s one of the most stylish snowboarders out there-especially for a ginger.” Colleen’s coming in hot and shows no signs of slowing, keep your eyes peeled. -Evan LeFebvre
