Mila Yankova

“Snowboarding is like life, you're constantly learning and challenging yourself. It's not always about making it to the top, but enjoying the journey along the way.”

Mila has always been one to embrace a challenge, which is why she fell in love with snowboarding. Growing up in Bulgaria, she found refuge on the slopes and has been shredding ever since. She's constantly pushing herself to try new tricks and improve her technique. When she's not snowboarding, Mila can be found cooking up a storm in the kitchen, her favorite dish being traditional Bulgarian banitsa. She's also an avid traveler, with a soft spot for exploring the mountains.

What's your favorite place you've ever snowboarded?

That's a tough one! I'd have to say my favorite place would be the Pirin Mountains in Bulgaria. It's where I first learned to snowboard and it has a special place in my heart.

What's your favorite part about cooking Bulgarian food?

I love how comforting and nostalgic it is for me. It's like every bite brings me back to my childhood and reminds me of all the love and warmth from my family and culture.
