Ashleigh McIvor

Ashleigh grew up on the slopes competing in alpine ski racing and first tried Ski Cross in January 2003. She immediately found success qualifying for the X Games and World Cup circuit in 2004 as the youngest competitor in the event. Her natural talent and charisma attracted fans and the inevitable attention of TV producers who crowned her the unofficial ambassador of the sport.

When Ski Cross was named for inclusion in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, Ashleigh became one of the first members of the newly formed Canadian Ski Cross Team.

In the 2010 season Ashleigh was a finalist in 6 of8 races, earning 5 World Cup podiums, ranking 2^nd in the overall standings and winning a silver medal in the X Games.

On February 23, 2010 Ashleigh became the first ever Olympic Gold Medalist in the sport of Women’s Ski Cross, realizing her dream and introducing herself and her sport on the international stage.
