Torah Bright has a legitimate claim to being one of the most progressive female snowboarders in the history of the sport. Not bad for a girl who grew up in the rather warm country of Australia.

After moving from OZ to Salt Lake in 2000, she was runner up on the FIS world tour, and as a wildcard in the Arctic Challenge in 2005 she announced herself with a huge McTwist. She has since was won an Olympic Gold, numerous X Games Medals and a couple of TTR titles, and despite a horrific accident at Vancouver and 18 months off a board, she is back, now competing in pipe, slopestyle and Boardercross.
