Antoinette Tansley, or as her teammates call her, Annie, has skied since she was little.  It’s a sport her whole family engages in, and when her family resided in Texas for five years, a 10+ hours drive to the nearest mountains didn’t stop them. Since making the transition to ski cross in 2016 she has raced a mix of NorAm, South American, and Europa Cup races, reaching seven podiums. The full-time international relations student at the University of Calgary balances her skiing alongside schoolwork as she works hard to reach the top of the sport.
