Ski Like Ole Award Nominations are now OPEN!

Do you Ski Like Ole?

Submit your application for the 2023 - 2024 Ski Like Ole Award & scholarship today! This very special award has been created to honor Ole Heie & his awesome values, as well as to recognize you & yours! 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. There are TWO awards available with funding between $500 - $1000 for each winner. This funding can be used for travel expenses, ski equipment costs, or an Ole-riffic adventure!

To apply yourself or nominate someone else, submit the application form along with a creative piece 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. The creative piece should outline the awesome way you will use the funding and how you embody Ole’s values. Creativity is strongly encouraged!

To help guide your creative piece, here are some questions to think about. These are just to guide you, it is not a requirement to include answers for all of these questions:

  • How does Ole inspire you?
  • What are you most proud of?
  • When did you start skiing?
  • What are your goals for the future?
  • What is your favorite part of skiing?
  • Why is skiing important to you?
  • What do you like outside of skiing?
  • Why do you think you deserve the Ski Like Ole Award?
