Kyle Blandford
A native of Toronto, Ont., Kyle Blandford is taking on his second season with the Canadian national ski team, a dream he has had since he was 12 years old skiing with the Toronto Ski Club.
Blandford has skied on the Nor-Am circuit since 2021, and enters the 2025-26 season with 70 starts under his belt, including 13 top-10 results and a third-place finish in a 2025 super-G in Kimberley, BC. Outside of skiing, he also competed in athletics, ice hockey and volleyball, before turning his entire focus to alpine skiing in pursuit of his national team, World Cup and Olympic goals.
During his first year with the team, he singled out fellow Toronto-area native James Crawford as one of the athletes who embraced some of the younger skiers, a season in which Crawford went on to win the Kitzbühel downhill.
At the age-group level, Blandford represented Canada at two FIS World Junior Alpine Skiing Championships: in Haute-Savoie, FRA, in 2024, where he helped the team to a fourth-place finish in the team event, and in St. Anton, AUT, in 2023, where he competed in every discipline.
