Biglines is stoked to present Sara Oakden’s Free ride scholarship interview. Born and raised in Fernie B.C. she puts most grown men to shame in any big mountain venue. Coupled with a ultra low key attitude and classic sense of humor, Ms. Oakden is an ideal person to rip a couple runs with. But you will not find her in Fernie these days, Sara moved to Whistler to take it to the next level. Let’s get the riding community behind Sara this season to see if she will kill it.

Basics

Name Sara Oakden
Age 23
Where are you from Fernie
Where do you Ski Fernie/Whistler


How have you dedicated your life to the mountains and adventure?

I was born in Fernie so the mountains have always been a big part of my life. The lifestyle that goes along with being a skier is the best, and mountains offer so much opportunity for exploring and different activities. I've always tried to spend the most of every winter skiing, it's good to have that motivation each year to get ready for the season, till it's over and then you do it all over again.

Why have you dedicated your life to mountain pursuits?

Skiing is the best way I can think of to travel and appreciate being a part of the environment around us. It's something that we can do and have fun with for our whole lives. Also the people I've met along the way make it all worthwhile.


What are some things the mountains have taught you that have proven valuable in the real world?


Being in the mountains everything seems simple, it makes other things feel less important. In everyday life I try to remember that and appreciate what's around me.
