Here's some background on her from US Snowboarding:
Zoe first learned to ski at the age of two with her parents as her instructors at Boyne Highlands in Harbor Springs, Michigan. When Zoe was five, her father turned her on to snowboarding when he bought a snow making gun, a rail and a box, added some jumps and created a mini park in their backyard. Zoe and her brother Ian spent countless hours training on Mt. Kalapos. At age 10, Zoe began competing in the USASA Middle Earth series in slopestyle, boardercross and halfpipe. Two years ago Zoe decided to focus solely on riding halfpipe.
