Pro Snowboarder Brantley Mullins Talks Starting in the Sport, Dolly Parton & Embracing Fear

Not many people would describe themselves as "a southern girl looking for colder weather," but Brantley Mullins does. The professional snowboarder grew up riding in North Carolina but has since gone pro and moved out to Salt Lake City. She competes in street style snowboarding or urban snowboarding (think: sliding on rails, jumping off things, etc). She competes in different cities in Red Bull Heavy Metal competitions (she did say Boston was unlike anywhere else!) Today we dive in to:

• How she started on the mountain (skiing -> snowboarding -> competing)
• The moment she realized riding was more than just a hobby, but a passion she wanted to pursue professionally
• The excitement she feels when she sees more and more girls on the mountain riding (especially her home mountain)
• What training looks like off the mountain
• Her favorite places to travel & ride (and her strong packing skills)
• Obsession with Dolly Parton & Dollywood (take notes on her ideal day there!)
• Advice from others (shoutout to Brantley's mom!) & to others
