Your Impact
The CANskiteam includes an average of 40 elite athletes competing across three disciplines: Alpine, Para-Alpine, and Ski Cross. In addition, 15 promising athletes are developing their skills within these same three disciplines as Next Gen athletes to continue to develop high-performance Canadian ski racers.
Over the last five years, our teams have consistently ranked among the top in the world, despite being geographically challenged competing in a Eurocentric sport.

The financial support provided by ACA donors means everything to us athletes. For me, when I know I am backed financially, it allows me to have a clear mind and put all my energy into what I need to do to ski fast. The better your mental frame is the better you perform. Support from others is a huge part of that.
- Cam Alexander, 3rd place 2023 Alpine World Championships DH
As a Canadian team spending months in Europe, the cost of travel, training, and simply living so far from home adds up quickly. Your generosity allows us to stay focused on racing, without the stress of managing logistics or cutting corners. It brings a sense of comfort and stability and most importantly, the confidence that we can train and prepare to the highest standard between races, without compromise.
- Courtney Hoffos, 10 x World Cup podium finisher
Financial support from donors and ACA stakeholders truly means everything to me. This past year, coming back from injury, I faced some of the biggest challenges of my career, physically, mentally, and financially. Without that support, I couldn’t have accessed the rehab, training, and travel I needed to stay in the game. Every time I step into the start gate, I carry that support with me. It fuels my fight, my focus, and my pride in representing Canada at the highest level.
- Valérie Grenier, 2x World Cup winner
Financial support from ACA donors supports my present and future athletic career! Thanks to ACA donors I can focus on what makes me the fastest on the mountain. By handling the noise of logistics and other issues that aren't important to my skiing.
- Reece Howden, 3x Crystal Globe winner
As a visually impaired skier on the Canadian Para Alpine Team, the support from donors and ACA stakeholders gives me a huge sense of relief. It allows me to focus fully on training, recovery, and staying mentally ready—without the stress of how I’ll make it all work. Knowing people believe in me and have my back means everything. It gives me the confidence and calm I need to perform at my best.
