“This is an exciting time for the Canadian Ski Cross Team as we look to build on an amazing 2019-20,” said Ellis. “Going into a World Championship year we want to continue to evolve as a team, lead the world in the sport, build up our younger athletes and support our veterans to continue to be the best in the world. It is a good time for the Canadian Ski Cross Team and we cannot wait to get back onto snow, doing what we love.”

Alpine Canada continues to focus on the safety and health of our athletes and monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic closely. At this time, it is unclear what impact this global situation could have on the 2020-21 Ski Cross season.  

The Canadian Ski Cross Team will be formally introduced in the fall.
