Brief Biography:
Brockhoff started skiing at the age of three; then picked up snowboarding at the age of ten. Three weeks later, she won her first snowboard Interschool Nationals and hasn’t looked back since. Brockhoff competed and trained in multiple disciplines including alpine GS & SL, skier-cross, moguls, Nordic classic & skate, boarder-cross and snowboard GS & SL. She then narrowed her sports down to PGS & PSL at the age of 16. In 2010, at age 17, she competed in her first PGS World Cup in Telluride, Colorado, finishing in 36th place. In 2012, she made her comeback to boardercross, qualifying for her first SBX World Cup. She finished in 3rd place at her fourth World Cup, the highlight of her 2012-2013 season. This made her the first Australian female to medal at a World Cup. Brockhoff truly appreciates the support she had while working with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club for five seasons. She credits much of her success to two coaches in Steamboat: Thedo Remmelink and Jon Casson.
