Hi! My name is Madeleine Wilkie and I am 18 years old. I have been competing provincially and across Canada with the Larch Hills Nordic Ski Team in Salmon Arm, BC as well as the BC Ski Team.

Last year, I took home the title of overall National Champion in my age group after a successful season of podium finishes at BC Cups and at Nationals.

At the beginning of this ski season, I achieved four top-10 finishes in the Nor-Am Cup and Olympic Trials.

And now I am extremely honoured to have been accepted onto the Canadian Junior Women’s Team to represent my country at the 2026 FIS Nordic Junior and U23 World Ski Championships in Lillehammer, Norway, from March 3 to 8.

Full time training means that my ability to work is limited to part time. I am so grateful for the financial support from Larch Hills Nordics, Silver Hares Nordic, SilverStar Mountain Resort, as well as my equipment sponsors KV+, ZiZU Optics, Atomic, Kintec Salmon Arm, and Lillsport. Their support has helped me get to where I am now.

As I push forwards with my training and racing, I hope that with your financial support, I will be able to do so without financial barriers. If you would like to help me continue to reach my dream of racing internationally for Canada, you can support me through my GoFundMe fundraising campaign or by sharing it on my behalf.

Thank you so very much!

Madeleine
