Oscar Blyth

Oscar Blyth (born in 2000) is a Canadian freestyle skier who has competed primarily in slopestyle and halfpipe / other freestyle disciplines. His FIS athlete profile shows him as Not active at present. Over his career, he has taken part in Nor-Am Cup events, especially in Canada, with participations in slopestyle and halfpipe competitions.

One of the notable features of Oscar’s story is his resilience: he has experienced multiple brain injuries, as well as a broken shoulder blade, that have interrupted his athletic progress. Despite these setbacks, he pursued higher education (University of Calgary, then University of Victoria), and balanced academics with his athletic ambitions. He also works as a coach, producing tutorials—e.g., a guide for skiing switch (backwards) for Ski Addiction. His Instagram account shows some engagement with the freestyle / ski community.

Oscar has expressed goals around making the Canadian team at one point. The fact that he is currently “Not active” suggests he may have stepped back from competition, possibly due to injury or recovery, but his ongoing activities (coaching, creative / community involvement) indicate his continued passion and influence in skiing.
