My 2023/24 Sponsors
This year, several businesses have generously stepped forward to support my goals on the World Cup circuit. Unlike many professional sports, ski racing lacks pro teams offering contracts, which means that to sustain my career, I rely on sponsorships, individual donors, athlete funds, or prize money. As a member of the Canadian National team, there are still significant costs associated with ski racing, including the team fee paid to the ACA. I’m very grateful for my family who have always supported me and I’m now extremely honoured to have received the continuing support of the following businesses and people behind them.
For the 2023/24 season, I am proud to announce Après Apparel as my headgear sponsor. Après Apperal has a small team that have built a ski "pro shop" that offers premium branded merchandise for Alpine Ski Club and Craigleith Ski Club. Their business operates through the Shopify platform, allowing you to purchase club-branded clothing conveniently delivered to your doorstep. In their commitment to support local athletes, Après Apparel has chosen to sponsor me this season. They have also provided me with high-quality clothing, ideal for post-skiing activities, workouts and comfort. I look forward to representing the Après Apparel brand and their dedicated and passionate team on my headgear this season.

In addition to my head sponsor, I am honored to have two shoulder patch sponsors this season. One of them is Nella Cutlery Toronto, a family that has supported me since my early days at Georgian Peaks Ski Club. The Nellas often set gates on the short training run at the peaks right as it opened giving us additional training before we had to meet up with our ski group. As a skiing family deeply rooted in the sport, they have made a significant impact on numerous athletes and programs. I'm fortunate that they continue to support my journey. With several locations in Toronto and an online store at https://www.nellaonline.com/, you can explore a wide range of kitchen products and services.
My other shoulder patch sponsor, Winterfell Alpin, was established by two of my friends from Vermont, Carolyn and Tony. They have been a great help to me, my former teamates and many others. During my time at Middlebury, I was lucky enough to have Tony as one of our coaches. Most noticably Tony travelled and coached my teamates and I that were racing NorAms alongside college races. Tony and the Gavett family bridged the gaps in our college program, significantly contributing to our improvement while representing the Middlebury Panthers. It was crucial in getting us to a place where we could contniue our careers post college, ultimately racing world cups and making our respective national teams. Carolyn has more recently served as a mentor having a profound impact on my career. They have formally set up Winterfell to offer high-quality training and support to college ski racers aspiring to take the next step in their careers.

In addition to my head and shoulder sponsors a few other companies and individuals are supoorting me. NTT Data Business Solutions is supporting me through my role as a Brand Ambassador. Notabely, their team of 2023 summer interns helped me build this site, a summer interntship I took part of in 2021. Jason and the professional team at NTT Business Solutions Canada design and implement SAP solutions for various companies. Their office has a longstanding tradition of supporting Canadian athletes and giving back to the community, and I'm honored to represent them this season.

Frans and his team at FysioTherapie Zug are also supporting me this season. With a well-equipped gym and physiotherapy facility in Zug, they provide an excellent space for me to train and conduct sessions when I'm in the area. They offer a variety of services and work with a wide range of athletes and individuals recovering from injuries or striving for a more active lifestyle.

My home club, Georgian Peaks Ski Club, has been a steadfast supporter, and I'm proud to have their support once again this season. The club has consistently treated its athletes exceptionally, and I'm honored to represent them on the world stage.
Lastly, MB Auto Center, with showrooms in Steinhausen, Küssnacht, and Ibach, is supporting me with a Mercedes Benz to facilitate my travel throughout Europe and meet up with the team and return to Zug on days off.

I would also like to thank my equipment sponsors, Rossignol, Sweet Protection and Leki for supporting me by offering what I believe to be the best equipment in the industry to help me achieve my goals.
