Blind Faith
Mac Marcoux is one of Canada’s most decorated para-athletes. Now, after a year side-lined by injury and skiing with a new, unproven guide, he will attempt to redefine himself as a skier by taking his racing pedigree into Whistler Blackcomb’s extreme alpine terrain. His goal is to do more than just ski lines that are impressive for a blind person, Mac wants to change the way people see adaptive athletes. To do this, he needs the support of his new guide and friend, Tristan Rodgers. If they succeed, Mac will become the world’s first blind freeskier. If they fail, his career as an athlete and his Olympic hopes may come to an end. As the pair square off against the challenges of the mountains and push their boundaries to the limit, they fight to stay healthy and inspired, all while training to earn a spot on the 2022 Olympic Team.

At the start of a brand new year Mac Marcoux is serving up a powerful reminder that any challenge can be overcome. “A lot of disabled people are doing super rad things, I want to be part of that movement”.
Blind Faith follows Mac Marcoux and his relatively new guide, Tristan Rodgers, as the pair set out to attempt three of Whistler Blackcomb’s most iconic freeski lines as a visually impaired team.
