ABOUT
Courtney Hoffos
Growing up in the small town of Windermere, British Columbia, sports were always an important part of my life and are what give me such a competitive drive. My passion for competing pushes me to achieve my goals. I live in Western Canada and I spend most of my time training with my ski team and going to school at the University of Calgary. When I am not training, I love to spent weekends in Windermere, BC, wake surfing, playing spike ball, golfing and biking.

My parents put me on skis when I was just 18 months old, skiing was second nature to me and it’s what I looked forward to every winter weekend I can remember. I was an alpine ski racer for 11 years before making the switch to ski cross, and haven't looked back. When I was 17, I attended a ski cross camp to try the sport out and I haven’t looked back. Ski cross has the direct element of competition, plus challenging features to make it more interesting -naturally, I was hooked.
I am no stranger to the injuries that this high risk sport entails but each rehabilitation has made me a more committed athlete. Now that I am healthy, I can push hard and work towards hopefully compete in the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
Academic
I am currently pursuing a business degree at the University of Calgary. I am very fortunate to be a student athlete, but at times balancing the two is challenging. Getting an education is extremely important to me and I have really enjoyed working on that aspect of my life.
