#About

Originally from Montreal, Gabriella fell in love with the mountains four years ago when she moved here and has called the Bow Valley home ever since. If she isn't shredding laps at the resort, you’ll find Gabriella skiing in the backcountry or warming up at the yoga studio in Banff. During the warmer months, she spends all of her time mountain biking, climbing, camping or summiting the mountains that surround the valley. The community filled with inspiring and like-minded people is also what makes this place so special to her. The mountain life has allowed Gabriella to find a great work-play balance and as you guessed it, she wouldn’t have it any other way.

#5QuickQuestions

1) Who inspires you? Every single person in this community getting after it. 2) Where does the love for the mountains come from? My parents always made sure I spent as much time outside as I could.

Alaska has a very special place in my heart. Very remote, wild, quiet and absolutely breathtaking. 4) Where do you really want to ski in the future? Japow! Or the Alps. 5) What's the one thing you love the most about climbing? The feeling you get after a long multi-pitch when you finally get to the summit with your partner and enjoy the view with no one around.

#LaterInLife

I finally found a job that I love and makes me want to keep working hard at it to see where it will take me. The best part of that job is that I get to spend most of my time in the mountains. In a few years, I really hope I can still have this amazing balance between work and playing outside.
