Year after year, Reece 'Big Rig' Howden cements his reputation as the brightest young talent in the sport. His 2020-2021 season proved to be one of the most dominant in the history of the sport: six podiums, four World Cup wins, Red Bull SuperSkicross gold, and the FIS Crystal Globe. He was also named Alpine Canada Athlete of the Year and FIS Rookie of the Year.
At the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games, Reece channeled his experience at the Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway in 2016 where he won the Ski Cross gold medal for Canada. Reece fought through adversity to land 9th overall in his first Olympic appearance. He finished the season with a bang when he won his second-straight Red Bull SuperSkicross gold medal.
Reece had an astounding 2023 season, racing to the podium at seven World Cups and winning his second FIS Crystal Globe, which is awarded to the athletes with the most overall race points. Fuelled by his pursuit of perfection, Reece aims to secure his third FIS Crystal Globe as he continues breaking boundaries in the sport of ski cross - all en route to the 2026 Olympics in Milan.
