India Sherret (born 29 May 1996) is a Canadian freestyle skier who competes internationally in ski cross.
Sherret began skiing as part of the Kimberley alpine team, but switched to the ski cross discipline at age 14. [1] In 2015, she won the FIS Freestyle Junior World Ski Championships in women's ski cross. [2] She sat out the following season due to the need to recovery from bulimia nervosa, a condition Sherret began to suffer from at age 15. [3] On January 13, 2018, she won the bronze medal at a FIS World Cup event in Idre, Sweden, her first podium finish at a senior World Cup event. [4]
She represented Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics as part of the women's ski cross team. [5] Sherret placed eleventh in the qualifying run for the women's ski cross event. In her heat, Sherret lost control going into a jump and crashed into the next hill. She was hospitalized for small transverse process fractures to her back, requiring her to wear a brace for several weeks. Sherret subsequently expressed optimism about competing in the 2022 Winter Olympics. [6]
In 2025, she was the top Canadian with a fifth-place finish overall at the World Cup in Craigleth [7] .
