Marie-Michèle Gagnon has been a part of the Canadian Ski Team since she was 18-years old, and in recent year has become one of the team leaders. “Mitch,” as many know her, has stood on the podium 4-times on the FIS World Cup tour, with a pair of Alpine Combined gold medals highlighting her career. A multi-disciplined racer, Gagnon began focusing on speed events in 2017 but fell to injury in Lake Louise, Alberta. When she returned, she did not miss a beat, finding herself in the top-15 a handful of times in the past two seasons. Outside of skiing, the Lac-Etchemin, QC, native is an outdoor-junkie, who splits her time between mountain biking, ski touring, paddle boarding, surfing, hiking and other outdoor activities. Heading into 2020/21, Gagnon is hoping to top her 2020 success of 12-top-30 results that included a 13th place finish in the Bansko downhill.
