It’s cold in Finland, but nothing like our Polar Vortex in Alberta ! The team braved the cold weather today and put some strong performances at @jwsc2021 in Classic Sprints Our teammates Annika Richardson and Elizabeth Elliott showed that they are ready for the stage. Annika 24th, her best championship performance to date and first time inside the top - 30. Elizabeth racing for the first time in U23 champs finished in 50th. ... We can’t wait to see what is to come in the next few days! Go go!

It has been a strange year for athletes, nothing new here! But, amidst all this, Canadian athletes packed their ski bags and flew to to take part in the World Championship @jwsc2021 having done no formal races this year! Today, we want to celebrate Calgary’s very own @foothills Nordic athlete - Tom Stephen who started World Championships with a 12th place! Congrats @xctom ! A win for everybody on the team.... Let’s go! : Thanks @vr45photography

The team is ready to go at the @jwsc2021 ! One sleep away from racing... Let’s go!! : Thanks @bethlgranstrom

Nice to see Revelstoke Mountaineer doing a feature on Academy athletes attending University of Calgary: Beth Granstrom and Elizabeth Elliott. They were recently selected to take part in the U23 World Championships. We love to help athletes combine high performance skiing and post-secondary education. Go Canada go!

Many of our athletes are getting ready and hoping that the global pandemic situation will allow them to safely travel and take part in upcoming international events in Europe. Dahria Beatty and Maya MacIsaac-Jones were selected to take part in the World Cup events (period 3) Elizabeth Elliott, Beth Granstrom, Benita Peiffer (declined spot due to injury) and Annika Richardson will be taking part in the U23 Cross Country World Ski Championships in Finland. Our Assistant Coach Julia Ystgaard will be working with the National Ski Team to support Canadian athletes on these trips. We look forward to sending them off and cheering them on as they take part in these international races. Congratulations and safe travels team!

From our zoom meeting to yours, we want to wish you a wonderful holiday season and may 2021 continue to keep us all living a healthy and active life!

Nice to see @thomasmanktelow visiting a little while ago with his long time sponsor @mikewiegeleheli . Over the years, Mike has also worked with our team to bring awareness to avalanche safety. @mikewiegeleheli continues to be a force in the Heli-skiing tourism of Canada with over 1.5 million acres of terrain for skiing adventures.

This week-end our team did a Time Trial @canmore.nordiccentre, while respecting Alberta Health's restrictions. We put our race suits on and reminded our body, mind and hearts what it feels like to be in the pain cave. Thanks to @vr45photography for catching some of these moments! Looking forward to more of these TT as we simulate the racing schedule and keep ourselves ready to perform.
