Our program is led by hometown hero and 2X Olympian, Kristi Richards.   She is an NCCP Advanced Coach, with Air 4 and doubles certifications.  She is a Freestyle Canada Learning Facilitator for mentoring and teaching coach candidates.  Her Olympic experience gives her the first hand knowledge to guide and develop customized programs to meet each athlete where they are at in their athletic pathway.  She brings a professional platform, and a skilled team together for the support network of each athlete.  Apex is her home hill, and this community is behind her vision to elevate the sport, attract high level athletes and teams to the Resort, connect the community, and support the athletes to give them a chance for their own athletic goals.

Hi, I'm Seairra! Originally from Saskatchewan, I've spent the last four years coaching Freestyle Skiing in Alberta, and I also hold my Level 2 PSIC and CSIA certifications. I'm passionate about coaching skiers of all ages, and I've been especially enjoying my time working with the students at UNISUS. Sharing my love for skiing and helping others develop their skills is incredibly rewarding!
