Buyer and  Shop Manager for RudeGirlsSnow&Skate & RudeBoysSnow&Skate Banff.

Abby Furrer rides everyday - so she KNOWS - knows what heads really want on the hill and street. She does this, and builds an inclusive community that thrives on learning.

During the pandemic, Rude Girls created the Virtual Ride Day and gave us all something to get super stoked about.  With the help of some amazing heads across the continent - we were all united into the RUDEGIRLS family.
