Sawyer’s Bio

My name is Sawyer Popovitch, I am 15 years old, and I live in Kimberley, a small town in British Columbia. I grew up skiing at our local ski hill, and it has become a huge part of my life. Over the past few years, I have gotten into competitive freeride, and I have gotten the chance to compete in the Junior World Championships in Kappl Austria this coming January. I am so stoked to be able to represent my hometown and Canada at this major competition. Skiing means so much to me and I have made so many friends along the way. When I can’t ski, I love to go mountain biking, hiking, dance, and cross-country skiing.
