Kelly Vanderbeek

Canadian, Olympian, and alpine skier Kelly VanderBeek has reached the World Cup podium three times in her career. Her most cherished accomplishment came when she earned a bronze in the super-G at the famed Lake Louise course in Alberta, becoming the first Canadian female skier to reach the podium on home soil.

VanderBeek nearly captured a medal at the 2006 Torino Games, missing the podium by just 0.03 of a second. Born in Kapuskasing and raised in Kitchener, Ont., VanderBeek now resides with husband, and fellow Olympian, David Ford in Chilliwack, B.C.

With a winning smile and passion for sports, Kelly is also a sought-after TV show host and news reporter. Sportscene fans may recall Kelly as the guest host for Sportscene in Penrith, the Blue Mountains of Australia and most recently at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships.
