  • Summary

  • Arriving in the Banff National Park means you’ve hit Canadas most beautiful mountains and best skiing. The ski areas of Lake Louise, Sunshine Village and Norquay have some of the most varied and expansive skiing in the world. Our guest, Ken Read, knows skiing and knows his mountains.

    Banff is kind of the center of the action here – it’s a small town about 100 km. or just over an hour due west of Calgary. Keep driving and the first area you come to is Norquay (sort of the town hill of Banff) then comes Sunshine Village – a snow haven, and then you finally come to the final jewel – the town of Lake Louise with its own renown ski resort.

    My guest today was one of the Crazy Canuks back in the 1980s and won some serious speed events like Kitzbuehel. Ken Read’s love and passion for the sport and for all sports Canadian has led him to serve in multiple positions to help advance skiing and sports in general. After his professional ski career, he served as the chair of the Canadian Olympic Association Athletes Council, as a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Athletes' Commission, the FIS Alpine Committee Executive Board where among other things he re-organized youth development programs.
