SEAN BUSBY Professional Snowboarder

Sean uses our overboots over his snowboarding boots, and our Forty Below ® Bottle Boots™ for his water bottles and insulin kit.

Sean Busby is a professional snowboarder with type 1 diabetes who travels the world competing and exploring remote corners of the globe on snowboarding expeditions. In 2004, while training for the 2010 Olympics, Sean endured a complicated diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Considering leaving snowboarding all together, Sean was inspired by reading stories he found through JDRF, from an event called Children’s Congress. It was the stories of 5 to 13-year-olds that inspired him to keep living his dreams despite living with this disease. He founded Riding On Insulin, which is now a nonprofit organization. Today, Sean and his wife, Mollie, run Riding On Insulin all around the world, hosting ski and snowboard camps for kids living with diabetes. Sean also continues his expeditions through his mountain guiding business, Powder Lines. Check out these links to see what he and Molly are up to:
