My name is Darcie Goodman, I am a 23 year old
female rider born and raised in Kamloops. This will be my seventh
year snowboarding and I have been passionately in love with it
from the get go.
I grew up skiing with my dad, loving my florescent one-piece
snowsuit and matching goggle duo, while thrashing the mogul ranges
of a small mountain called Harper just outside of town. I switched
to snowboarding (in 1999) after renting a board once at the age
of 15, I immediately sold my skis, and have never looked back.
Since then:
-Joined West Tech Snowboard Club 2001
-Began working at Oronge in 2002
-Traveled to New Zealand with West Tech summer 2002
-Chosen for BC Provincial Boardercross Team 2003
-Chosen for BC Provincial Halfpipe Team 2004-present
-Graduated University with Bachelor of Nursing 2004
-Moved to Whistler in to advance my riding skills in bigger terrain
-A few minor setbacks including knee surgery Spring 2005
-Currently traveling throughout the nation for Halfpipe events
-Spring 2006 invitation to National Team Selection Camp
-Summer 2006 working my butt off Nursing to be able to afford
to follow my dreams

Oronge Board Shop Working at Oronge was truly a rewarding
experience and by far the most fun place I have ever had the
privilege to work at; my career there lasted 3 years, but my
heart will remain forever…aawww.
Thanks to Coach and Kuanny for all the years of support and friendship. |
