Robbie Dixon

Robbie Dixon
  • 2010 Winter Olympian
  • 8 Top-10 World Cup finishes
  • 2-time Canadian Champion

Robbie was born and raised in North Vancouver, B.C.  With the towering North Shore mountains surrounding him combined with a strong family history in skiing, it wasn’t long before Robbie was ‘straight-lining’ it down every run.  As Robbie reached his teenage years and began to excel in ski racing, he made the move to Whistler and enrolled in a high school program designed around the travel of a ski racer.  The B.C. Ski Team was soon knocking on his door.  Following strong results on the Nor-Am circuit in 2004. he qualified and became a member of the Canadian Alpine Ski Team in 2005.

His first full year on the World Cup Tour was in 2008.  This was highlighted by a surprise 6th place finish in the Hahnenkamm Super-G, starting from the 43rd position, and a 5th place in the Giant Slalom in Kvitfjell, Norway.  With the 2010 Winter Olympics fast approaching (on his ‘home hill’ of Whistler), Robbie continued to achieve strong results; a 5th and 8th in the 2009 Lake Louise downhills and 6th in downhill and 8th in Super-G at Val Gardena.  In the end, the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, Robbie’s first shot at Olympic glory, was a bit disappointing with a DNF in the Downhill and Super-G and a 24th in the GS.

That said, Robbie learned a lot from his first Olympic Games.  He looks forward to sharing these stories and tips with you during your next Best of Both trip to guaranteed an exhilarating experience.
