About

Claire is an all-round mountain bike athlete. She does it all.....from dirt jumping like the boys to racing DH all over the world, from epic XC missions to bike park slopestyle, from coaching on the side to throwing event parties. She represents herself and her sport through film, photo and print projects. When she's not biking, snowboarding or hanging at the lake, you'll find her creating art, ideas and opportunities. Based out of Whistler and working at her local bike shop, Evolution, she lives and works within the industry. All of these qualities mixed with dedication, talent and a fun attitude, have made Claire quickly become a strong figure in the mountain bike world.
