Šárka Pančochová

Šárka Pančochová is one of the most accomplished riders in women’s snowboarding, with a career that spans competition, progression, and backcountry riding. She rose from the small hills of the Czech Republic to the world’s biggest stages, earning three Olympic appearances, an X Games medal, and multiple World Cup victories along the way.

In recent years, she’s shifted her focus toward the backcountry, bringing the same confidence and depth of experience to freeriding. A leader on and off the snow, Šárka earned her place in the Natural Selection finals and finished on the podium in third place in her first appearance, continuing to evolve while influencing the next generation of riders.
