Dominique Vallée

The mini interview: “Third time is a charm”

3 things you can hardly live without:
My cell phone. My fancy pants espresso machine. A massive purse that I can throw everything in there and be ok to live for a week.

3 things you would buy immediately if you would win the million jackpot in a lottery:
One of those huge houses in Whistler right on Alta or Alfa Lake with lots of trees. Another big house in Mexico, near Punta Mita, right on the beach by the surf brake. My private jet plane to go to both places as much as I want with my favorite people.

3 city spots with your favorite handrails:
Not a fan of handrails, I’d rather ride an icy pipe of sweet powder. I only use them to save myself when I wear high-heels.

3 things you would do if you knew that today is the last day in your life:
Have a great feast with my family. Go ride incredible powder with friends. Spend some TLC time with my man…..

3 things someone should know about you before proposing marriage to you:
I like: BIG diamonds, fast cars and to be treated like the Princess that I am.

3 peaks with your favorite backcountry line:
Somewhere in the Monashees Mountains in BC. Whistler Mountain. Pucon, Chile.

3 things you would change immediately if you would rule the world:
Stop this nonsense of War on Peace and all wars everywhere. Ban oil and all the hidden inventions created to power motors with a battery or other sources would come out of the dark. Change the US President.

A Wedding, a funeral, a surf trip with my best friend Annie.
