As Bleiler faced her fears and stepped more fully into sharing her gifts, her on-mountain opportunities amplified into opportunities off the mountain.
She'S JUMPED into these opportunities much like she drops into the halfpipe, with 100% enthusiasm and commitment.
From video games and Snowboard Barbie to signature events, camps, products and collections,
Gretchen is a recognizable brand and role model.
She is an outspoken environmental advocate and founding Board member of Protect Our Winters, entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Alex Bottle, media host and now, post-competitive career, a speaker and transformational coach.
During a pivotal moment early in her snowboarding career, Gretchen was able to identify a deeper purpose behind her competitive pursuits. This purpose has remained, even as the vehicles for fulfilling it have evolved:
the courage to face her fears and limiting beliefs in order to step joyfully into her ever-evolving potential, all while inspiring and guiding others to do the same in their own lives.
Now through her speaking and coaching, Gretchen shares the tools that will help others overcome their own obstacles in order to step joyfully into their full potential, on purpose, when it matters most.

It’s said that if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. But my experience is that when you’re doing what you love, you work a million times harder. Because only you know what you’re really capable of, and because of that, you’re driven even further to learn, improve, and grow to reach that potential you know exists within you
