Calgary, AB – Canadian skier Amy Fraser had a standout performance at the Aspen Halfpipe World Cup, earning a bronze medal in the women’s halfpipe event. This marks Fraser’s second bronze in as many weekends after she won the halfpipe bronze last week at the 2025 X Games, solidifying her as one of Canada’s top competitors in the 2025 season.
Fraser delivered an impressive score of 86.75, breaking through for her first FIS World Cup podium of the season after finishing just outside the top three in previous events. The bronze medal is her reward for consistent performances, having placed sixth at Copper Mountain, fifth at Secret Garden, and sixth at Cardrona earlier in the season.
“This feels amazing. I’ve been so close a few times this year, and to finally land on the podium—two weekends in a row—is incredible,” Fraser said. “It’s a great feeling to bring this momentum into the next event, especially with the final stop of the season in Calgary just around the corner.”
Fraser wasn’t the only Canadian making headlines. Cassie Sharpe, fresh off her gold medal at the X Games, finished fifth, and Rachael Karker followed closely in sixth. Dillan Glennie rounded out the Canadian women’s team in 10th place, showcasing the depth of talent in Canada’s halfpipe program.
On the men’s side, Calgary’s Brendan Mackay made the finals, finishing ninth. Andrew Longino narrowly missed the cut in 11th, while teammates Dylan Marineau (15th), Noah Bowman (18th), Steven Kahnert (34th), and Benjamin Lynch (44th) also represented Canada on the world stage.
Great Britain’s Zoe Atkin captured gold in Aspen with a commanding score of 90.00, delivering a flawless first run featuring a right alley-oop 360 and a switch right 720 tail grab. This marks Atkin’s second World Cup podium of the season and her first win since 2019.
China’s Li Fanghui secured silver with an 88.50, adding to her runner-up finish at Secret Garden earlier this season.
The FIS World Cup season concludes at Winsport in Calgary on February 14-15, giving Canadian fans an exciting opportunity to cheer on their athletes competing on home snow. The event also serves as the final chance for athletes to qualify for the 2025 World Championships in Switzerland this March.
