Up For Grabs: Win Marie-France Roy's Snowboard Gear
In 2008, Marie-France Roy became snowboarding’s It Girl. On the heels of her groundbreaking part in Kids on Shred’s Any Means, MFR won Rider of the Year honors from both SNOWBOARDER and Transworld. Rather than sit back and soak it in or follow the same path that had garnered her such acclaim, Marie spent last winter far from the parks and rails that highlighted her Any Means part. Instead, MFR tackled a new challenge: the backcountry. The results of this initiative can be seen in Rome’s latest video No Correct Way. From BC to Russia, with perhaps one or two urban landscapes in between, MFR keeps her momentum intact as she produces what is sure to be another award-winning part. In an industry that continues to feed into the ethos that a female pro is only as good as her last podium, Marie shows that taking a vanguard approach can still pay off. In other words, when it comes to progressing our sport, there is still No Correct Way.
Now, the girl who once worked as a chambermaid in Whistler to support her addiction to shred gets to enable the riding habits of another by giving away her full setup. To find out how you can get your fix, click the enter to win button here.
Read below to see what MFR has to say about her snowboard gear.
Rome Lo-Fi 150
“This is my favorite board to ride for most of the season. It’s a high-end all-around board; really fun and light. It’s awesome for jumps.”

ThirtyTwo Ultralight
“The Ultralight is a really comfortable softer boot. They feel like slippers, but still give you the support you need without feeling like you’re wearing a ski boot.”

Rome Madison
“I’ve been riding the Madison for three years now, and it’s exactly what a good binding should be. It’s solid, light, easily adjustable, and it looks great.”

Oakley Straight Jacket
“It’s waterproof, really warm, and the fit is nice. It also has a removable inner jacket so you can adjust to any conditions out there.”

Oakley Airbourne Pant
“Oakley doesn’t screw around. They have several testing trips with the riders every year to make sure they come up with the best technology, so you won’t get your ass wet.”

Oakley A Frame
“The A Frames are really comfortable on your face, and the lenses that they developed protect your eyes like no others on the market.”

Magical Go-Go Wax
“This company was started by the coolest couple there is. I feel like there is so much love for snowboarding involved in this company, and they make so many cool products, from tofu wax to all-natural lip balm.”

Cilla First Layer
“Combining comfort, functionality, and style all in one piece is what Cilla is about. Finally, you can get first layers that keep you warm and look amazing. They also use a lot of eco-friendly materials, and it’s made in Canada, so you really can’t go wrong with it.”
