Nick Katrusiak grew up in Whistler, BC, where he attended Myrtle Phillip Elementary and Whistler Secondary. His early years were mainly shredding Blackcomb, Whistler, and the trails of west side. Starting on Magic Chair, Nick developed a passion for skiing very quickly. At the age of 10, he became a member of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club. Over the span of eight seasons, coaches like Drew Hetherington, Conrad Pridy, and Jordan Williams, to name a few, played a role in shaping his skiing and guiding him in life. Nick is thankful for all the teammates and friends from Whistler that pushed him to become the best version of himself.
Nick competes at the Nor-Am, European and World Cup level, this past season having many career best results. 2023/24 being his first season on the Canadian Ski Cross Team, Nick is just getting started. He is very grateful to have the opportunity to represent Whistler and Canada on the world stage. Even with it being such a young sport some of the world’s best Ski Cross athletes come from Whistler, Ashleigh McIvor and Marielle Thompson. With so many role models and like minded people in Whistler to look up to it is a community that Nick is proud to have behind him.
