Winter action, world-class athletes, and a festival vibe like no other, APIK Mississauga is back and bigger than ever.
Made possible thanks to Visit Mississauga, this unique winter sports festival transforms the city into a true playground for ski, snowboard, and skate culture fans.
Here are the top 5 reasons why APIK Mississauga 2026 belongs on your calendar:
APIK’s ski competition brings together some of the most exciting freestyle skiers on the international scene. Expect massive tricks, creative lines, and riders pushing the limits of what’s possible on snow – and the craziest part? It’s in the middle of Mississauga’s city center: Celebration Square!
Even if you’re new to freestyle skiing, keep an eye on the headliners like Taylor Brook-Lundquist, or Siver Voll, and especially our Golden Ticket winners; these are emerging athletes with a chance to qualify for major international events. Watching them is like spotting tomorrow’s stars before everyone else.
The snowboard contest is another major highlight of the weekend. From stylish technical runs to huge airs, the level is insane.
This year’s field includes standout headliners like Pat Fava, LJ Henriquez, Bella Bacon and Maggie Leon: riders known for their power, consistency, and creative approach to competition. Whether it’s big tricks, clean execution, or next-level style, these athletes set the tone for a contest where anything can happen.
Just like in skiing, our Golden Tickets winners are ready for anything. For spectators, this adds an extra layer of excitement: you’re not just watching a contest, you’re witnessing careers take off in real time.
This is where APIK really sets itself apart. Skateboarding on snow is something you won’t see anywhere else in the world.
Riders skate directly on the snow course using custom plywood panels, blending skate culture with a winter environment in an unexpected way. It’s raw, creative, and a perfect example of how APIK reimagines action sports.
