Squamish, UT
Avery Krumme grew up in Squamish, British Columbia, immersed in the region's commitment to the slopes and devoted ski community. From an early age, she demonstrated an exceptional ability to spin in all four directions, an uncommon skill for someone so young that caught the attention of coaches on the competitive circuit.
Krumme's competitive career gained momentum on the Canadian circuit, where she consistently earned podium finishes in both slopestyle and big air events. During the 2023-24 season, she captured two gold medals and three silver medals across Canada Cup competitions in the Yukon, Sun Peaks and Horseshoe Valley, Ontario. Her breakthrough came at the 2024 FIS Junior World Championships in Livigno, Italy, where she earned bronze in women's slopestyle. She followed that performance with double gold at Canadian Nationals in Whistler in both slopestyle and big air, narrowly edging her competitors in closely contested finals.
Like many elite athletes, Krumme's path has included significant challenges. She overcame a major injury during her junior career, using the setback as motivation to strengthen her training regimen. She added more weight training to her routine and learned to use her time more intentionally during rehabilitation. Her coaches, including Shonny Charbonneau and Graham Pollock, praised her work ethic and focus during training, noting that she consistently arrives on time and maintains dedication to improvement.
In 2024, Krumme made the decision to switch her nationality from Canada to the United States, joining the U.S. Freeski Team's rookie roster for the 2025-26 season. She earned three NorAm Cup podiums during the 2024-25 season, demonstrating her consistency across North American competitions. During her first season representing the United States on the world cup circuit, Krumme made her world cup debut at Stubai, Austria, finishing 20th in slopestyle. She showed steady improvement throughout the season, finishing sixth in slopestyle at the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix in Aspen and fourth in big air at Steamboat Springs, Colorado—the best result among American women at any of the season's selection events.
