Biography:
My name is Kim and I’m 17 years old. My first time on a snowboard was in Austria when I was 9 years old. I really liked it, but I took a break and started again in an indoor fridge in my hometown when I was 12 years. I was addicted and snowboarded twice a week. Since then I really love the sport! I was always training in freestyle, but since 2007 I am specialising myself in to boardercross. That’s what I like the most!!! I’m just back from Chile where I trained this summer. This year is my last year at school, next year I hope to snowboard non-stop.
