My name is Elli Clark. I am racing with the Ontario Ski Team. My whole life, my family has been involved in sports. Growing up, I participated in competitive cycling, gymnastics, horseback riding, and skiing. In more recent years, I have focused intently on skiing and cycling, but last summer, I hung up my bike to pursue my goals in the alpine world. From the minute I started to walk, my parents had me in a pair of ski boots, learning my way around the slopes. As a kid, my family spent our winters out in Big White skiing before we moved to Wakefield, Quebec, and I began my racing with Mont St. Marie. For the end of my U10 years, we moved back here to Ontario, and I joined the Toronto Ski Club, where I stayed all the way through until the end of U16. TSC became my second home, where I met the bulk of my closest friends and raced along with some super skiers. It was these places that fueled my love for this sport, and got me here.

Ally is most appreciative of being supported by TSC. Ally is known for always pushing her limits and loves going fast!

Her message to the athletes of TSC, "regardless of the dnf's and crashes, just keep going and enjoy the friendships and the opportunities ahead!"
