Make The Mountain Your Playground with Spencer O’Brien for Women

Meet your clinic’s athlete

For most of her life, from the time she first began to snowboard at 11, Spencer O’Brien wanted her riding to speak for itself. It was too hard to put words to other things. Like, what it’s like to be diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in the lead-up to the 2014 Olympics and not know if your athletic career is over. Or what it’s like to blow your ACL 10 days before you’re going to the 2018 Olympics, after you’ve been competing and training and building up to that moment for 10 years. Or what it’s like to be an Indigenous woman, disconnected from your ancestral culture, language and territory, because a 150-year strategy of colonisation and genocide had been designed to achieve that end. Snowboarding, on the other hand, was a welcome refuge, an activity where she could feel fully expressed, in a community in which she was a two-time Olympian, five-times X Game medallist, and a two-time world champion slopestyle athlete. Hanging up the bib and stepping before a camera, for the feature film Precious Leader Woman, as she shifted from competing to backcountry riding and filming in 2020, catalysed a level of reflection she hadn’t anticipated – one which wove all the threads of her story together, and anointed her not just as a valued member of the snowboard community, but as beloved of her ancestors and lifted up by her culture, and as inspired to ride as ever.
