Background:
What comes first the chicken or the egg? The same could be said for Perianne Jones as to whether she learned to walk or cross-country ski first. Perianne stepped into her first set of cross-country skis at just three years old when she joined a Jackrabbit ski group in her hometown of Almonte, Ont. A love for the outdoors and sport helped propel the devoted youngster to the next level in her sport. At 15, her family joined the Nakkertok Ski Club in Ottawa and her career took off. Perianne quickly became part of the racing team and competed at a high-level throughout high school on both the Nakkertok and Ontario teams. Perianne is well on her way to fulfilling her Olympic dream. The young Canuck, who had a very successful stint on the Junior Canadian Team, is now making her tracks against the best in the world.
Perianne is equally busy off the snow as she is on. A competitive cross-country runner during her high school years, she still enjoys being active with training and running in the summer months, and is taking some post-secondary classes. When she does find some free time, she spends it with family or cooking tasty vegetarian meals.
