Since the age of 8 Mirabelle Thovex has been strapped into her snowboard with only one thing on her mind — progression.

By the time Mirabelle was 15 she had earned a spot on the French national team and access to the best training opportunities around. From air bags alongside the superpipe to foam pits and trampolines at indoor training centers, Mirabelle takes advantage of all the tools at her fingertips. Mirabelle’s board feel stretches from the mountains to the sea as she has been spotted wake surfing behind a boat.

Mirabelle has become a staple in the French snowboard scene as represented her country in both the 2010 and 2014 Winter Games.
