Foothills Nordic

Sophie has been skiing for as long as she can remember, and doing so with Foothills since she was 9. Since then, she has loved racing at the provincial and national level, especially the long distance races. She is now thrilled to be able to continue skiing competitively while pursuing a neuroscience degree at the University of Calgary. Some of Sophie’s favourite things are cross-country skiing, stating the obvious, repeating herself, and cross-country skiing.

Foothills Nordic

Hello I’m Aiden, I’m from Grande Prairie, Alberta. My home club is Wapiti Nordic. I’ve been skiing since I was 3 years old, when my parents threw me on skis. I began racing when I was 8 and never looked back. Last year I moved down to Calgary to pursue a degree in biology at the University of Calgary, while continuing to ski with Peak. My favourite place to ski is Canmore! I also enjoy xc running and exploring the mountains!

Foothills Nordic

Hi, I'm Josh! I was introduced to skiing at five years old and instantly fell in love with the sport. I got into competing with Foothills and have spent the past eight years racing with them. This year I'm excited for the opportunity to ski with Peak while also studying Kinesiology at the University of Calgary. Besides skiing, I love playing soccer, collecting Hot Wheels, and I can speak three languages.

I was first introduced to cross country skiing when I was only three years old. Although I couldn't ski uphills yet, my parents worked to foster a love of the sport, pulling me around on sunny days. What started as a hobby chasing the older kids down trails in Canmore soon turned into a passion for racing. I joined the Foothills Nordic Ski Club when I was five years old, and am proud to be racing for the Peak Nordiq Ski Team while pursuing my education. I have been lucky to have the opportunity to represent Alberta at the 2023 Canada Winter Games, and hope to continue representing my province at a national and international level. Outside of skiing, I am a science enthusiast and recently completed my first year majoring in Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology at the University of Calgary. I spend my free time organizing events for the Girls Forward Foundation, camping with my family and mountain biking with my sisters.

XC Bragg Creek

Avery has been skiing with XC Bragg creek for 13 years before switching to PEAK Nordic to continue her love of skiing after high school. She is currently taking a year off school to ski as much as possible while also working full time at a cafe and bakery. While mostly competing in just the Alberta cups, she is excited to take on more national level races this year. When not at work or on skis, you can find her crocheting, reading a good book or exploring the mountains. 

XC Bragg Creek

Hi my name is Avery! Born and raised in the Philippines, I moved to Canada and originally started XC skiing in tandem with Ski Jumping at ten. I quickly learned and found the enjoyment of XC skiing and started to pursue it independently- and in the following years, I chose to continue racing along with undertaking a pre-law Political Science Degree! In my meantime other than skiing, I pursue passions such as hiking, debate, and reading whatever I can get my hands on!

Ile-a-la Crosse Ski Club

Hello, my name is William McGonigle. I grew up in northern Saskatchewan, in a small community called Île-à-la-Crosse. I’ve been skiing with my family and friends since I was about six years old, and I started racing when I was twelve. I usually achieve better results in sprints, but my biggest goal is to achieve a high level of balance in the sport. I moved to Calgary to pursue a degree in Neuroscience and to be as close to the mountains as possible. Outside of skiing, I love to train, eat, run, play sports, and train some more!

Hi, my Name is Toby, and I'm foothills born and bred from Calgary. This is my 8th year racing and I'm hyped to be able to train while also doing my first year of engineering at the U of C. My favorite venue from last season would of been Sovreign, and best memory was the look on my teammates' faces when I shot clean once at nationals. Outside of skiing I love to get snacks and study with friends, while spending lots of time in the mountains.

Hello I’m Joe, and I am super excited to be skiing with Peak Nordiq this year. I grew up in Yellowknife, NWT where I learned to ski at age three. I started racing when I was around six or seven and have not been able to stop since. Some of my passions include camping, fishing, hockey, and baseball.
