Featured Interview: Jen Davidson, SnoDaisy Founder and Bobsledding World Champion

January 10, 2008

The following interview was written by Jessica Cryer, Startup Princess Writer.

We love a princess that isn’t afraid to ask for what she wants (an interview on our site). Wish granted, Jen. We are pleased to feature SnoDaisy founder Jen Davidson. The photo of Jen was taken at Jen’s first Startup Princess event, when she received her Magic Wand and showed off her cool board.

SnoDaisy is a company offering ultra-feminine snowboards and accessories for the “girly-girl” that’s a little adventurous. Light enough for a woman to carry, these boards are eco-friendly and chic. Interested in learning to snowboard? SnoDaisy offers lux snowboarding vacations including spa treatments, chauffeured pickups and delectable dining. This all-girl guided trip includes private lessons and a snowboard to take home with you!

Cool Facts about Jen:

1. She is a six-time high school hurdles state champion and all-state volleyball and basketball star.

2. Jen is also a two-time collegiate hurdles champion.

3. After college Jen focused her speed on winter sports in preparation for the 2002 Winter Olympics and was a member of the USA Olympic Team in Bobsledding 1998-2002

4. She became the most decorated brakeman in history as a leader on the groundbreaking US women’s bobsled team. Nike, Visa, and Chevrolet signed on as sponsors as she ran on ice – collecting 23 consecutive international medals.

5. The two-time World Championship silver medalist retired from bobsledding in 2002.

6. She learned to snowboard just days after Olympic Closing Ceremonies in SLC.
