Hudec

Banff-raised Alpine skier Jan Hudec is back and ready to go for the first Alpine World Cup speed races of the season at Lake Louise this weekend.

I spoke with Jan about how he’s feeling heading into the season, his status as an ‘elder’ on the Canadian Men’s Alpine team, some of the guys to watch out for this year, a new app launching this weekend connecting lovers of skiing, and what it means to race on home soil.

Men’s World Cup Downhill and Super-G races run Saturday and Sunday at Lake Louise and it’s free to watch from the base area.  Click here for details and schedules.
