Ju Bray wore the silver fern at the Torino Winter Olympic Games in 2006 where she finished a very strong 16th in the half pipe and 22nd in boarder cross and then again in Vancouver where had she not taken a fall she would have made the semi-finals with a chance to progress further, she later went on to land that run and placed fourth at a World Cup.

At 34 her depth of experience helps her perform in variable snow and weather conditions giving her a distinct advantage over other competitors.

Ju was named Snowboard Athlete Representative on the FIS Athlete Commission and represents New Zealand at an International Level.

Sponsors: Cardrona, Burton, CHOP, Quest Store, Bandit.
