The country is looking to improve on its five-medal haul since snowboarding became part of the event's sporting programme in 1999.

Alexandre Cadieux, Anthony Gervais-Marcoux, Clara Chapman and Bridget MacLean are due to race in the snowboard cross event on Gore Mountain.

Jonah Cantelon is Canada's only freestyle representative while Adam Farber, Jacob Farber, Gabriel Wood, and Andrew Behan are set to compete in the Alpine events.

Justin Carpentier is on standby as an alternate on the Alpine team.

Out of all the athletes, only Cadieux has experience at the FISU Games as he finished 22nd in the snowboard cross event at Krasnoyarsk 2019.

"I can't wait to represent Canada once again in snowboard cross," said Cadieux, a member of the 2022-2023 Ontario provincial team.

"I am also looking forward to meeting new people and competing on a new track with challenging features."

The team will be led in Lake Placid, due to take place between January 12 and 22, by a pair of coaches in the form of Danielle Courchesne, who will take care of the Alpine and freestyle events, and Elisabeth Schwable-Côté, who will supervise the snowboard cross events.

Brendan Davis is the most successful Canadian snowboarder at the FISU World Winter Games.

He secured halfpipe gold in Innsbruck in 2005, before getting a silver in the discipline at Turin 2007.

Will Malisch secured the country's only other gold as he triumphed at the Krasnoyarsk 2019 men's snowboard cross event in Russia.
