Anyone who is into snowboarding will already know of the amazing Victoria Jealouse. Arguably one of the worlds best female big mountain snowboarders, she is a true inspiration to female boarders and continues to achieve the (almost) impossible!

She does most of her filming with TGR (Teton Gravity Research), as she considers them to be safe, understand the mountains and the people are fun to be with.

When asked by Powder Magazine if she could give some advice for 'women who want to ride on big scary terrain and either have been holding back, or haven't had the opportunity?'

She said the following:

Victoria: My advice to women would be to take a lot of baby steps in order to feel confident in your decision-making. To take too big a step and get sluffed, or get bucked, or have a bad crash or blow it and tumble the wrong way off a cliff, definitely sets you back. It's way better to take warm up runs and test the snow, jump a little rock and see how soft the snow is. Definitely don't let any kind of pressure affect your decision-making. If a girl wants to go out in the backcountry and push herself, I would say, do really be aware of where you are and memorize your exposure and line. Take a picture or whatever, and spend as much time as you need to be 100 percent sure. As you'll find out, everything looks totally different from the top. You usually can't see anything, and everything looks wrong, backwards. I take a lot of time and I think it's okay. That's the way I have to do it in order to ride confidently. I always have a back-up plan if I think I'm going to get scared or need an out...You want to drop in with confidence.
