Hi! I’m Lila, I’m 9, and I LOVE snowboarding. My big brother, Tim, is 13 and he makes everything look easy while I’m eating snow like it’s a snack (for now). But guess what? Together, we’re chasing a huge dream: USASA Nationals in Colorado!

This winter, we’ll compete in slopestyle, rail jam, and slalom, which basically means we get to jump off things, slide on rails, and race down the hill like total maniacs.

Competing costs a lot—like, a lot. Travel, lift tickets, comp fees, and gear add up to around $15,000 for Regionals and another $10,000+ for Nationals. So that’s where you come in! Your support means I can keep practicing, landing tricks (fewer faceplants), and maybe even beat my brother at something.

Thanks for helping my brother and me chase our snowboarding dreams! ❄️

P.S. Snowboarding insider tip (from a real pro… me!): NEVER say “last run” when you’re ready to call it a day. It’s basically a curse. Make up your own word instead. We say… “chipmunk.” ️ Works every time.
