I’m Kaleb Barnum, a ski cross racer on Canada’s National Ski Cross Team, based in Calgary. My best result so far is a second-place finish at the Craigleith World Cup, racing against the best in the world on home snow. That podium showed me I belong at this level, and I’m pushing to get back there more often.
This season my goals are to qualify more consistently on the World Cup circuit, earn a spot at the World Championships, and win Canadian Nationals. To chase them, I’m training and racing from Chile in the fall to World Cups across Europe and Canada through March. Off the snow, I’m finishing my Biomechanics degree at the University of Calgary and teaching swimming and lifeguarding.
As a B-team athlete, I pay for a large share of my season myself, including team fees, travel costs and living expenses while I’m on the road. Your support helps me focus on racing rather than covering costs. Every donation made through Snow Athletes Canada helps a tremendous amount. Thank you for being part of the journey.
