In support of Alpine Canada Alpin and BC Alpine

Wednesday, November 2, 2016

Blue Water Café, Vancouver BC

Welcome to the 11h annual Fidelity Investments Peak to Peak Dinner and Auction.

Dear friends of Canadian ski racing:

On behalf of Alpine Canada, I want to thank the B.C.

Alpine community, for your ongoing support and

dedication to our sport.

We are grateful to the parents, volunteers, clubs,

officials and many others who contribute to the

success of Canadian ski racing. Fundraising support for

the national team, facilitated by B.C. Alpine, has been instrumental in

enabling Canada to remain a world-leader in ski racing.

This past season, Alpine Canada athletes secured 43 podium results across

our alpine, para-alpine and ski cross disciplines. Alpine Canada

development Team athletes also proudly represented Canada with podium

success at key World Junior Championships, NorAm races and Youth

Olympic Game events.

Within Canada, and in collaboration with provincial ski association partners,

we are committed to enhancing our domestic athletic and coaching

system, from the grass roots to the national team. Athletic excellence is

directly tied to coaching excellence and we will look to facilitate ongoing

developments in this most important area.

I would like to thank you again for your dedication to Canadian ski racing.

Please accept my very best wishes and much success for the season ahead.

Kind Regards,

MARK RUBINSTEIN

Ashleigh McIvor – Whistler, BC (Whistler Mountain Ski Club)

As the first female Olympic gold medalist in her sport, McIvor has become the

face of women’s ski cross. Her profile extends beyond the sporting world, having

worked with top fashion photographers, strolled down a runway in New York and

starred in major advertising campaigns. McIvor, who grew up in Whistler chasing

boys down the hill on skis and mountain bikes, is a former ski cross world

champion and X Games silver medalist.

Stefanie Fleckenstein – West Vancouver, BC (Whistler Mountain Ski Club)

She had a breakout season in 2016 as a member of the BC Ski Team, showing

consistency at the Nor-Am level by finishing 3rd overall in the alpine combined,

5th overall in super-G and 6th overall in slalom. Stefanie also represented

Canada at the World Junior Championships in Sochi. Her strong performances

won her a spot on the Canadian Development team for 2016-2017.

Sam Mulligan – Vancouver, BC (Grouse Mountain Tyee Ski Club)

Sam is a bit of a speed demon, ranked 5th in downhill and 12th in super-G

internationally for his age. After two years on the BC Ski Team Sam was selected

to the National Development Team. He hopes to qualify for the World Junior

Championships and step onto the podium. As a side note, following his cycling

fitness test in the lab this year they had to hide his results so the Canadian

cycling team didn’t come and scoop him up! He pushed huge watts.

Manual Osborne-Paradis – Vancouver, BC (Whistler Mountain Ski Club)

A richly talented speed skier who is famed for his fun-loving, larger-than-life

personality, 'Manny' has three World Cup wins to his name – including his

famous victory in Lake Louise, Alta., in 2009. In 2012-13, Manny narrowly missed a

podium in downhill in Kvitfjell, Norway, and claimed the Canadian downhill title.

Away from the ski hill Osborne-Paradis is known for his community work, which

includes running an annual ski camp for kids with teammate Michael Janyk in

Whistler, B.C. He's also an avid golfer.

Riley Seger – North Vancouver, BC (Whistler Mountain Ski Club)

Fresh onto the National Development Team after two seasons with the BC Ski

Team, Riley is looking to make a name on the international stage. Originally from

the Whistler Mountain Ski Club, Riley wrapped up the 2015-16 season with a 3rd

place (top U21) finish at the Canadian Championships in downhill. Aspirations

for the upcoming season include top-10 results at World Juniors in Are, Sweden,

and a Nor-Am podium.

Brodie Seger – North Vancouver, BC (Whistler Mountain Ski Club)

Brodie Seger, from Vancouver, BC, skied a great 2015-16 season capturing top-

ten finishes on the Nor-Am circuit. Seger captured third place in a giant slalom

Nor-Am race at Whiteface (U.S.A) and had a fourth-place finish in a downhill at

Aspen. On home snow at the Canadian Championships Seger finished second

in the alpine combined and fourth in the downhill. He also notably came eighth

in the giant slalom at the World Junior Championships in Sochi, proving his

medal potential on the World Cup circuit.

Broderick Thompson – Whistler, BC (Whistler Mountain Ski Club)

A gifted speed skier, Thompson is making a name for himself on the alpine

circuit. Originally from the Whistler Mountain Ski Club, Thompson had a stand

out season in 2014-15, which included clinching the Nor-Am super-G overall title

and earning his first ever World Cup points; placing 30th in Wengen (SUI) in the

alpine combined discipline. Thompson's name is a strong one in Canadian ski

racing, as Broderick works to establish his career on the alpine World Cup

circuit, and as his sister, Marielle, continues her shining career as a Canadian Ski

Cross star. In the 2015-16 season, Broderick took to the infamous Kitzbuehel track

for the first time and cracked the top 30 in the Wengen alpine combined race.

Georgia Simmerling – West Vancouver, BC (Grouse Mountain Tyee Ski Club)

Georgia made history at Rio 2016 by becoming the first Canadian athlete to

compete in a different sport at each of three different Olympic Games.

Competing in track cycling’s team pursuit, she helped Canada win Olympic

bronze. A former national team alpine racer who competed in multiple World

Cups and represented Canada at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, Simmerling

established herself as a medal contender in ski cross after two standout seasons

on the World Cup circuit. The West Vancouver, BC native racked up

12 top-10 World Cup results from 2012 to 2014, including three

podium finishes, and she finished 13th at the world

championships in Norway.

Marielle Thompson – Whistler, BC (Whistler Mountain Ski Club)

Thompson, one of the most successful ski cross athletes in the world, is the

reigning Olympic Champion and was instrumental in Canada Ski Cross

reclaiming the coveted Nations’ Cup in the 2015-16 season. In 2012 she became

the first Canadian to win an individual ski cross Crystal Globe as the overall

World Cup Champion, a title she successfully reclaimed in 2014 with an exciting

finish at World Cup finals in France. She currently has 13 World Cup victories to

her name and a total of 23 World Cup podiums. The Whistler, BC native –

nicknamed 'Big Air Mar' - finished the 2015-16 season ranked second overall in

the World Cup standings, claiming four World Cup wins, two second-place

finishes and a silver medal at Winter X Games. In March, 2016 she finished her

competitive season winning the title of Canadian Champion for the fourth time.
