Ski Like Ole Award

Submit your application for the Ski Like Ole Award today!

This very special award has been created to honor Ole Heie & his awesome values, as well as to recognize you & yours! Ole Heie was born bright and early Feb 11, 2009, and lit up the world from that very moment. Unfortunately, Ole was suddenly and unexpectedly taken from us on July 10, 2021 at the age of 12 while out for a run – leaving his friends, family, teammates, and the entire Nordic community shocked & devastated.

The Ski Like Ole award is open to Nordiq Alberta athletes of ALL ages. You can nominate yourself or someone you feel embodies Ole’s values. Nominations can be submitted in whatever medium you choose. For example: You can paint, draw or sketch an art piece, write a creative story, put together a video, or perform a piece of music. Not only was Ole an amazing athlete and a good sport, but he was a talented writer as well as musician, so creativity is strongly encouraged!
