Fernie’s Kaleb Barnum earned his first career World Cup podium with a silver medal at the FIS Ski Cross World Cup on March 22, 2026, held at Craigleith Ski Club near Collingwood, Ontario. Competing in just his eighth World Cup start, Barnum pushed past two rivals in the men’s big final to finish second behind Italy’s Federico Tomasoni.

It was a strong day for Canada, with teammate Kris Mahler joining Barnum on the podium for bronze — a double finish at the tour’s only Canadian stop of the season.
