“Skiing is the sport I compete in, and who I am as a person. It will always continue to be part of my life. I come from a small community and when I have a good result, the entire community is with me.” (rmotoday.com, 8 Feb 2018)

Award:

Her name appears on a sign on the Olympic trail at the Whitehorse Cross Country Ski Club, honouring her participation at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games. The trail features the name of other Yukon Olympians. "It means a lot to me to have a sign with my name up on it, on this trail. It's something I've always dreamed about. Growing up I skied past the trail signs of the Yukon’s Olympians, so it’s quite surreal to have my name up on a sign on the Olympic trail.” (cbc.ca, 26 Sep 2018; yukon-news.com, 23 Dec 2020)

General Interest

COVID-19
Spent the offseason training at home in Canmore, Alberta due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the first time she had spent two consecutive months training in the one location. “There was something very comforting and motivating about settling into my routine, properly rooting myself and having a good combination of both group training and the opportunity for solo workouts, building up weaknesses and exploring new local training locations.” (dahriabeatty.com, 20 Sep 2020)

SKIING ACROSS GREENLAND
After PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, she was the fastest female (fifth overall) in the 160km Arctic Circle Race, a three-day race held annually in Sisimiut, Greenland. Racing with her father, the skiers race the full distance over three stages, camp each night between stages, cooking their own food, sleeping in tents and waxing their own skis, without access to warm beds, hot showers or other creature comforts. “It was probably below -20 C for all three days of racing, but it was a very enjoyable hard first day. Staying in a tent at night, it went down to -25 C and -27 C.” (yukon-news.com, 10 Apr 2018)

SCHOOL AND SPORT
“So much of my day is devoted to sport that having another goal to pursue brings balance to my life. Being solely focused on one thing is very difficult especially on the hard days or on a week where training doesn’t go exactly as planned. Working toward a completely different goal (university degree) gives balance and keeps my life more rounded.” (athabascau.ca, 3 Dec 2018)

Scored best individual result of 15th in the Engadin season-ending World Cup races in March 2021 (with 10th fastest finish time in the final pursuit race). In 2017, she became the first Canadian woman to string together three top-30 World Cup results since 2014. (rmotoday.com, 8 Feb 2018)
