About

Based out of Whistler, Katrina keeps herself busy with DH racing, freeriding, event planning and coaching – she multi-tasks the bike world. With a degree in Exercise Science and as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, she also helps other athletes reach their potential through fitness coaching. Katrina's dedication, determination and persistence have directly contributed to her several successes and mentor status in the mountain bike industry. When she’s not riding her bike, she’s snowboarding, skiing, surfing, running in the woods, playing at the lake with her dog Max, laughing or dreaming about biking.
