Brady
grew up in Calgary, Alberta, dreaming about becoming an Olympic Skier.
Brady first showed his talent racing alpine with the Calgary Alpine
Racing Club. Brady steadily moved up the alpine ranks in Canada. He
eventually found a spot on the Canadian Development team ranking himself
3rd in Canada in Super Combined and in the top 10 in the country in the
other 4 alpine disciplines. When he is not training and racing Ski Cross he can still be found
outside playing golf, mountain biking, riding motocross, hiking, playing
soccer, and playing pond hockey! You can always pick Brady out of the
crowd on the hill by spotting the signature four leaf clover on his
helmet.
With the 2010 Olympics fast
approaching Brady took advantage of an opportunity to switch from alpine
to the action packed head-to-head excitement of Ski Cross. After just
two short years he secured himself a position on the world cup “C” team
with Alpine Canada and a spot on the World Cup Tour for the 2008/09
season. He proceeded to make himself a serious competitor on the Ski
Cross World Cup, with four top 12 finishes in his first year in the
sport. Other highlights from the 2008/09 season included a 7th place
finish at the 2009 X Games, and a 16th place finish at the World
Freestyle Ski Championships in Japan.
In 2010 Brady continued to
show improvement. Despite racing on what turned out to be a still
fractured tibia (from a crash at the end of the 09 season) he posted his
best results to date. Including 3 top 10 finishes on the World Cup, a
spot on the Canadian Olympic Team (ended up not competing, injured in
training) and an X Games Bronze medal.
