World Champion Downhill Biker Poised for Comeback and Podium

Finn Iles grew up in the Canadian Rockies and knows a thing or two about hard work, preparation, and continually improving. Finn is the son of pro ski patroller Dave Iles, who honed his craft in the challenging snowpack of the Canadian Rockies and is now part of the highly skilled and professional snow safety team at Whistler Blackcomb.

Finn has seen his dad go through tireless training, review, preparation, control work, review, and opening of a ski area every day. This requires an incredible commitment to your craft, a never-give-up attitude, and complete focus on doing it right, as it involves high risk.

This season, Finn will return after recovering from injuries and has begun with some bruises and bumps from his recent crashes in Loudenvielle and Val Di Sole. But in Finn's fashion, he will not focus on the past; instead, he will reframe the present and be ready for this weekend's La Thuile event.
