Meet our 2026 Golden Tickets winners

Thanks to Visit Mississauga, the APIK Golden Ticket contest gave emerging riders the chance to earn their spot on the APIK stage. After reviewing dozens of submissions, our judges selected riders whose style, creativity, and commitment truly stood out.

In skiing, the Golden Tickets were awarded by freestyle legend Tom Wallisch, and in snowboarding, chosen by snowboard icon Seb Toots.
Public Choice winners were selected through community votes on our Instagram.

These riders are ready to bring their energy, vision, and unique style to APIK.

From judge selections to public votes, every winner earned their place through authentic riding and a strong creative vision. Get ready to see them bring their style and energy to APIK Mississauga.
