Getting To Know: Emily Slaco - Pinkbike
“Emily Slaco lives quite an interesting life. During the winter, she spends her time in the middle of nowhere, working at a backcountry lodge or on her snowmobile. Each summer she is guiding somewhere in the backcountry, and one of her favourite places on earth is the South Chilcotins—an area that plays a big role in her ability to deal with the unknown and is a source of her confidence. When she does make it back to Pemberton, Emily will often show up to a local event and put the hurt to everyone who has been regularly training and racing. It seems that spending day after day on her bike, guiding guests through the beauty of her most cherished places doesn't hold Emily back when she's up against the clock. She is one heck of a human, and her positive, fun-loving attitude and overreaching joy for life is infectious to those around her.”
