Stef Flecks Olympic Dream

Donation protected

My name is Stefanie Fleckenstein (Stef Fleck), and I am a 24-year-old alpine ski racer from Whistler, BC. My ski racing journey began when I was just two years old and at the age of 12, I attended my first Olympics… as a spectator. The 2010 Whistler Olympics sparked my Olympic dream and for the past 12 years I have pushed myself to achieve that dream.


I first made the Canadian National Team at the age of 18 and after three years of competing for the National Team full-time, an injury in my leg put my journey on pause. While I was rehabbing, I decided to start my college education at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I had the opportunity to race on CU’s NCAA D1 Ski Team. My academics pushed me in a way that I hadn’t previously experienced and even though I loved having the opportunity to race while doing school, I missed pursuing my goals full-time.


This past season was my third year at university, and I was awarded All-American status in both slalom and giant slalom at the NCAA National Championships, while maintaining a 4.0 (straight A) GPA. After that year I made the conscious decision that I was ready to fully commit to my ski racing goals again. This summer I have joined the International Ski Racing Academy (ISRA) to race as an independent representing Canada on the global stage. ISRA is an elite group of international racers who are working together to qualify for the Olympics to represent their respective nations.


My costs are listed below and even a little bit of help from a lot of people makes a big difference!

-ISRA Team Fees: $30,000

-Personal Assistance Staff Fees: $8,000

-Travel Fees: $7,500

-Race Season + Equipment Costs: $40,000


Thank you for your help and hopefully together we can make my dream come true!
