At his first World Championships in 2015 at Beaver Creek, USA, Read finished in the top thirty in giant slalom[1] and slalom. He was also in the Nations Team Event (NTE), in which Canada won the silver medal. He competed in slalom and giant slalom at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Read is a two-time Canadian champion in slalom (2013 and 2014) and won the overall title in the North American Cup (Nor-Am Cup) in 2012.

He graduated from the University of Denver and competed for the Pioneers in alpine skiing.

Read's parents are famous Canadian ski racers Ken and Lynda (Robbins) Read; his father was one of the Crazy Canucks downhill racers of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Younger brother Jeffrey (b.1997) is also a World Cup alpine racer specializing in speed events.

In January 2022, Read was named to Canada's Olympic team.[2][3]
