Sonora Alba, known to her family and friends as “Sonny,” calls San Pedro, CA, home. Although a Southern California native, Sonny has been immersed in the snowboarding world and culture since the age of three. Following in her father’s footsteps, Sonny developed a passion for all board sports. She began snowboarding at Bear Mountain, joined the Mammoth Snowboard Team at eight, and by thirteen, she was selected for the U.S. Pro Halfpipe Team.

Sonny’s love for snowboarding is all-encompassing. She loves the stoke it brings, as well as the strength it has instilled in her as an athlete, a woman, and a role model. She resists being labeled solely as a “pipe rider” thanks to her training with the Mammoth Team, which emphasized becoming an all-mountain rider. Sonny enjoys participating in slopestyle, street, and free mountain riding, and proudly identifies herself simply as a “snowboarder.”
