#MountainMonday: Canadian athletes hit the slopes

Ski and snowboard season is just getting started which means your Canadian athletes have been all over social media posting incredible snapshots. While some are struggling with a lack of their biggest necessity (snow), others are thriving hillside. 

​Cross-country skier Devon Kershaw isn't so lucky. He's taking some personal time — but not by choice. Winter is slow coming to Norway, apparently.

Another cross-country skier, Brian McKeever, also couldn't get on the hills due to lack of snow. However, he seems unfazed by the shortage.
