Andréane Lanthier Nadeau, or ALN for short, was shaped from a young age by years of cross-country racing while growing up in Québec. She raced cross-country on the international circuit aboard her Rocky Mountain Vertex as a junior, U23, and Elite. Moving out west to initially pursue her Olympic dream, she found herself reminded of the thrill that bikes can bring. BC is a place where she renewed with how much fun she has on her bike, and quickly graduated to trails that required a bit more than a Vertex. This transition led her to step away from XC and start racing Enduro.

After borrowing ex-teammate Jesse Melamed's Altitude and race jersey for her first ever EWS in Whistler in 2015, and finishing her BSc. in Psychology at Uvic, her professional career really started to shape up.

ALN plans on continuing to work hard in order to remain at the sharp edge of racing while sharing her passion for bikes with younger riders to inspire them to dream big.
