Crystal Globe, Ski Cross World Cup (2019/20)

Alpine Canada’s Ski Cross Male Athlete of the Year (2019)

General Interest

COVID-19 AND THE CRYSTAL GLOBE
Was poised to receive his first Crystal Globe in March 2020, surrounded by family, teammates, and fellow competitors instead he left Switzerland empty-handed and in a stressful race against time to get home before the North American borders closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a Canadian, he risked being apart from his fiancee (MK Cirelli) for months during the COVID-19 shutdown - a citizen of the United States of America living in Vermont. He decided he wasn’t willing to sacrifice being away from her for months for a trophy ceremony. He chose to drop out of the event and made immediate travel plans, hoping to arrive at the U.S. border before it closed. World Cup organizers wouldn’t let him take the Crystal Globe home before the season was officially done, but they did allow him a quick photo with it - a shot in a whirlwind moment outside his hotel as he raced there to pack.

Met his wife MK Cirelli on August 2014 in the University of Vermont Ski Room after corresponding via the dating app Tinder. (zola.com/wedding/mkandkevin)
