Annick Chalier

Annick Chalier is a longtime Pacific Northwesterner, calling the gorge home since 2019.  She has a passion for all things cycling and has been a mountain biker since 2013.  She's raced road bikes professionally, raced cyclocross across the west coast, and dabbled in some endurance mountain bike racing. Through the years of training for racing, mountain biking has always remained a counterbalance to the structured intervals... a way to be creative in and connect with nature, dance down the trail hootin' and hollerin' with friends, and find distance from the outside world by being entirely focused on the moment with the bike.  

After becoming a snowboard instructor at Mount Hood Meadows, assisting with several mountain bike clinics, and having experienced the benefit of receiving mountain bike instruction at several camps and lessons, Annick became a PMBIA Level 1 certified mountain bike coach in 2021. She loves the process of helping others unlock capabilities they didn't realize they had within themselves. The confidence that inspires is infectiously powerful and can transform a person's life.  Annick is thrilled to be coaching with Brave Endeavors in 2022!!
