Never Bored:
In the winter, Shannon hits the slopes as a snowboarder. In the summer, she hits the lakes as a wakeboarder.
It's All Down Hill From Here:
As a person who was born in Alaska and grew up in Ontario, Canada, Shannon likes to joke that she's slowly, but surely, "moving south". (Don't give away that parka just yet.)
