Tatum Monod On Injury, Tricks, And Design

One of the few female professional skiers incorporating big tricks into her backcountry skiing, Banff native Tatum Monod, 25, first garnered attention by landing a double back flip on her third try. Monod has since won awards like Best Female Edit at the International Freeski Film Festival and Freeskier Magazine’s People’s Choice Skier of the Year, along with coveted contracts from companies like Red Bull. Her family, a line of mountain guides and ski racers who own Canada’s oldest and most iconic outdoor shop—Monod Sports—describes Monod as determined, athletic, and passionate. Especially when it comes to…fly-fishing?
