Barbara Perez
Biography
Barbara Perez grew up chasing winters in Patagonia, starting on skis at three before switching to snowboarding at 11. Style shaped her more than competition, inspired by park girls who rode for expression over ego. During a season in Colorado, she worked nights so she could ride every day, building the discipline and confidence that still carry through her riding. Now splitting time between snow and surf, Bali and the Alps, Barbara brings a relaxed, surf-influenced style to the mountains and builds her life around movement, music, and staying present.
“Snowboarding keeps me present. I ride because of what it gives me: clarity, focus, and the chance to fully live in the moment”– Barbara Perez
