SCHMIDT
Hannah Schmidt, the ski cross star from Ottawa, has been carving her path on the slopes since she was just 2 years old. Starting with alpine skiing at the Mont-Tremblant Ski Club, she quickly rose through the ranks, earning podiums in FIS events and representing Canada at the 2017 FISU Winter Universiade.
Transitioning to ski cross in 2018, Hannah’s rapid ascent earned her a spot on the National Ski Cross Team, where she’s become a standout athlete. From a top-10 finish at the 2022 Beijing Olympics to back-to-back World Cup wins at Nakiska in 2024, her resilience shines through with her journey being diagnosed with diabetes.
As one of Canada’s top ski cross athletes, Hannah inspires on and off the slopes, engaging fans with her journey and embodying the spirit of determination and excellence.
My goal is to encourage individuals that have diabetes to achieve their goals even if it is going to be harder. The feeling once you reach those goals is even better.

Off the snow, she’s an advocate for better funding for diabetes research, driven by a desire to make a difference beyond her sport. A nature lover at heart, she enjoys hiking and spending time with her dog and cat, finding balance and joy in the quieter moments. Hannah Schmidt is more than a ski cross champion—she’s a passionate athlete, animal lover, and advocate with a deep connection to her community.
