Life After Snowboarding: Helen's Schettini’s Journey from Powder to Parenthood
In this kickoff episode of Board Meetings, host Becky Mendoza sits down with Canadian shredder and one of her besties, Helen Schettini, a true pioneer in women’s backcountry snowboarding. Helen takes us on a journey from her early days as a halfpipe competitor to becoming a respected force in the backcountry. She opens up about her shift into motherhood, the smart financial moves that made her retirement possible, and the mental hurdles of stepping away from a pro athlete’s life. From stories of female camaraderie on the mountains with the legendary Full Moon Crew to her savvy real estate investments, this conversation is packed with insights. And to top it all off, Helen shares the scoop on her next big adventure: an epic snowboard expedition in Japan with Mint Tours with Full Moon!
