Background:
Erik Guay has set his sights on making Canadian history as he prepares for what
could be a defining season for the reigning World Downhill Champion.
A founding member of the Canadian Cowboys – Canada’s most dominant
generation of alpine rulers since the Crazy Canucks – the 31-year-old from MontTremblant has set an ambitious goal of chasing down Steve Podborski’s
Canadian record of 20 World Cup podiums.
Erik’s past Olympic performances and his growing family have also given him
added motivation leading into Sochi 2014.

At the 2010 Olympics, Erik opened with a fifth place finish in the prestigious
downhill event and a few days later was just 0.03 agonizing seconds from a
podium performance in the Super-G.
Combined with his fourth place Super-G finish in Torino 2006, the Olympic
podium has proved elusive and worthy of the pursuit.
Alongside Erik in his pursuit of history and the Olympic podium is his younger
brother Stefan, who’s recently moved up the ranks to become a full-time
Canadian Alpine Ski Team coach beginning with the 2012-13 World Cup
Season.
Combined with his fourth place Super-G finish in Torino 2006, the Olympic
podium has proved elusive and worthy of the pursit.
As a father of two beautiful girls- Logann and new-born Leni- Erik and his wife
Karen, will look to juggle a busy ski schedule with an active family life and some
sleep.
