Diane Rudge dominated two stops of the You Look Good Riders cup tour last winter and, as the overall winner, ended up winning a pretty sweet surf trip to Portugal.
“Diane has a 'wolf in sheeps skin' ability to destroy any contest,” says You Look Good creator, Andrew Singleton. “Diane's relocation to Whistler and the addition of a full time personal coach, will undoubtedly see her on top for many more years to come.”

Years have you been riding: 8
Sponsors?
Ride Snowboards, Cappel, Electric Visual, The Circle
What was your favourite stop on the You Look Good Tour?
The Ontario stop, mainly because it’s home.
What was your favourite party city on the tour?
Mont-Tremblant. They have such a good apres scene. As soon as the contest is done, you hit up a patio, maybe even get a bit of a tan, then the partying begins.
Do you feel any pressure to compete after winning last year?
I don't feel pressure from anyone to compete other than myself. I love it, which is why I keep doing it.
Who are you favourite riders to compete with?
Alex Duckworth and Breanna Strangland. They are fun girls to ride with whether were competing or just doing park laps.
How was the turnout for female competitors?
I only went to two of the stops last season, and in the Pro category there weren’t too many riders, but the competition was still good.

Good times or game face?
Good times!
Resorts or streets, which spots are your favourite?
Whistler/Blackcomb is one of my favourite spots for sure. It’s where I’m living now. They have one of the best parks in Canada. At the same time I love going back to Ontario and riding at Craigleith Ski Club. It’s where I grew up and where my roots are. It’s always fun times, and they have the best breakfast in town.
Do you have advice for people trying to win the overall title this year?
Just go out and have fun, and try and make as many of the stops as you can.
