West Vancouver B.C.’s Mollie Jepsen was an all-star skier in her age group with the Whistler Mountain Ski Club.  After joining the team at just 15, she carried her success to the Para-Alpine World Cup and the Paralympics after a successful season on the Europa Cup circuit. However, a trio of medals at the 2018 World Championships vaulted her into the sport’s elite and qualified her for her first Paralympic Games. She reached the podium four times at PyeonChang 2018, winning gold in the super-combined, silver in slalom and bronze in the downhill and super-G.

She continued to thrive at Beijing 2022, upgrading her 2018 bronze to gold in the downhill and silver in giant slalom, earning herself the role of Team Canada’s flag bearer in the closing ceremonies for the 2022 Winter Paralympic Games. Through competition in 2021-22 outside the Paralympic Games, Mollie reached the podium each time.

Although she has battled injuries and illness throughout her young career, nothing is slowing down the now 23-year-old as she continues to dominate the world stage.
