Tatum Monod
Tatum Monod was born in Banff, Alberta, to a family deeply entrenched in the sport of skiing. Her father was a racer on the Canadian Ski Team, her parents met skiing, and her grandfather opened one of North America's longest-running outdoor gear shops, Banff's Monod Sports, back in 1949. Her family still runs Monod Sports, and Tatum has worked at the family business for much of her life.
But somehow, she didn't start skiing until she was 12 years old. "My family is all about skiing, but my dad was smart. He didn't push me into it," Monod says.
He let me wait until it was something that I really wanted to do. I think that's the best thing he could have done for me. Because ultimately it was my decision to become a skier, and that's probably why I stuck with it.
