Ali Nullmeyer

Biography

Ali Nullmeyer made her Olympic debut at Beijing 2022 where she finished 21^st in the slalom.

Nullmeyer represented Canada at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer where she won the silver medal in slalom, finished fourth in the mixed team parallel event with Justin Alkier, and posted a fifth-place finish in the giant slalom.

Nullmeyer had a breakthrough moment in her career in January 2022 when she finished fifth in a FIS World Cup slalom in Zagreb. It was her first ever top 10 finish on the World Cup circuit. Five days later, she posted a sixth-place finish in the slalom in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. She ended the 2021-22 season ranked 11^th in the World Cup standings, a ranking she matched in 2023-24. She has eight career top 10 World Cup results (as of January 2026).

Nullmeyer has competed at four senior FIS World Championships since making her debut in 2017. In 2023, she finished 12^th in the slalom for her best world championship result.

Nullmeyer competed at three FIS Junior World Championships (2016, 2017, 2019), highlighted by her silver medal in the slalom in 2017. She ended the 2016-17 season by winning the overall title on the Nor-Am Cup circuit. She hadn’t missed a single Nor-Am Cup slalom podium that season, recording four victories and never finishing lower than second. 

That success secured her spot on the World Cup team for the 2017-18 season. But disaster struck in training in October 2017, just ahead of the World Cup opener. Nullmeyer tore both her right and left ACLs and suffered a torn left lateral meniscus during a fall. After undergoing surgery, she missed the entire season and half of the next, returning to competition in January 2019. She was finally able to make her World Cup debut in March 2019 in Spindleruv Mlyn, Czechia. She had to wait until January 2020 before she qualified for a second slalom run at any World Cup event. She finished 16^th in that slalom race in Flachau, Austria for her first World Cup points.

Nullmeyer skied collegiately with Middlebury College of the NCAA. As a freshman in 2020 she was the EISA Rookie of the Year and was an All-American selection. She qualified for the NCAA Championships, but the pandemic would force a cancellation of the event.
