ASXT Athlete Journal: Kiersten Vincett

Hello, Alberta Alpine community! My name is Kiersten Vincett, and I am from Galahad, Alberta, in East Central Alberta. I have been in ski racing for 15 years and started racing ski cross in U16. This season is my first year on ASXT. I was previously on ABSX, and my home club is the Valley Ski Club. This year has been very tumultuous and full of surprises. Working around the Covid protocols in the summer proved to be challenging but manageable. I felt like I went into the ski season very strong, and I am thrilled with the training we received from the Canadian Sport Institute. I want to thank our strength and conditioning coaches for all the hard work they do during the summer to do our best on snow. Read more.
