In Episode 25 of Still Noise I catch up with Canadian snowboarder and former professional athlete, Helen Schettini.
Starting out on skis as a teenager, Helen quickly fell in love with snowboarding and made the move to Whistler, where she began competing in halfpipe. But after a series of injuries, and some encouragement from close friends, she started looking beyond the patrolled runs and structured competition scene. Shifting her focus from contests to filming video parts, chasing storms, and riding big mountain lines far from the boundaries, Helen built a career in one of the most high-risk sports on earth. In this conversation, we talk about her transition from pipe walls to open faces and crevasses, the highs and lows of life as a professional athlete, near death experiences, and what it meant to eventually step away from the sport that defined her. We also dive into who she is beyond snowboarding her move to Australia, family life, and what comes next.
Whip yourself up a comforting beverage and slide into the life of former professional snowboarder, Helen Schettini.
