Aidan Mulvihill
Aidan Mulvihill (born August 19, 2004) is a Canadian freestyle skier specializing in slopestyle and big air. Raised first in Vancouver and then in Squamish, British Columbia, he started skiing at 3 years old, in Grouse Mountain, then took lessons in Whistler when he moved with his family. His early love for spinning off hits and trying tricks led him to join the Whistler Freestyle Development program around age 10, then Freestyle Whistler at age 12. He progressed through provincial competitions, achieving NorAm victories in slopestyle in Canada (for example Stoneham, Aspen), and became overall NorAm Champion in the 2023-24 season. He also competes in World Cup events, with mixed results so far. His goal is to win X Games medals, reach Olympic podiums, and to be an inspiration for younger Canadian freeskiers. Off the snow, he spends time at trampoline facilities mastering new flips and airs, enjoys skateboarding, gaming, and builds content around his skiing.

Dean Bercovitch, born in 1992 in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Québec, is a Canadian freestyle skier specialising in big air and slopestyle.

Around age 19, Dean moved to Whistler, British Columbia, to fully commit to freestyle, focusing especially on jumping and big air. During his competitive years, he placed on podiums in significant Big Air contests (including being champion in the Hella Big Air event in 2018, and runner-up in 2019). His style is marked by creativity in aerial tricks, variation, and strong execution. After suffering injuries and retiring from active high-level competition, he moved into coaching, bringing his experience to help other athletes, particularly in moguls jumping and jumps/tricks. He also appears in video projects, works with sponsors, and is an ambassador for freestyle creativity and progression in the sport.
