Check out that alpine altitude!

Canadians build early-season momentum

First, Genevieve Simard put a charge into the Lake Louise crowd with a run that earned fifth place at the Audi FIS World Cup super-G. Soon after she finished, Emily Brydon was hot on her tail, landing in eighth spot.

Then, two skiers after Brydon, Kelly VanderBeek became the first Canadian woman to reach the podium at Lake Louise, finishing third.
But that wasn't all.

As VanderBeek made her way to the chalet for doping, fellow Canadian Mike Janyk was winning silver at a World Cup slalom in Beaver Creek, Colo.

In the men's speed events last weekend at Lake Louise, Manuel Osborne-Paradis earned silver in the downhill before John Kucera took gold in the super-G. Through two weekends, the Carving Canucks already have four medals towards their season goal of 12.
