Just curious.

Im sure there are but likely in the closet. I imagine since the pro community is small it might be tough to come out...similar to pro football, baseball and basketball. Though at the same time i would think snowboarders would be a more open community since most are such free spirits. Who knows...

Gay and lesbian snowboarders in Ski Bums

The largest gay and lesbian snowboarding club is called Ski Bums, and they have written blog posts about this before.

No professional snowboarder anywhere in the world has ever come out of the closet as LGBT, at least as of October 2013.

The Ski Bums founder wrote about a conversation he had with Travis Rice, who told him that he personally had ridden and competed alongside gay snowboarders, but none of them came out to him until they'd finished their competitive careers.

I think it's likely that a number of top level female snowboarders are gay or bisexual. Just my gaydar, I suppose.

Ski Bums is a huge organization, though, and hopefully more gay teenagers who love snowboarding will grow up to become top ranked shredders.

SKI BUMS :: Gay & lesbian skiing and snowboarding club :: Chill. Out. ™ is the Ski Bums website. I like their slogan, Chill. Out.

Not really sure what difference it makes whether someone is "Gay,..? A Pole smoker, ************, queen, queer, fairy, ***, fruit, twinkle toes,.. or Geoff? (The much "gay-er" spelling of Jeff!) ;)
