Michel Daigle (born September 20, 1950) is a pioneer of freestyle skiing. During his career, Daigle reached the winners podium 34 times. He is considered one of the founders of freestyle skiing, alongside Darryl Bowie and John Johnston and has been credited with the growth of freestyle skiing in the mid 1970s. Daigle competed in ski ballet, moguls and aerials. Daigle also launched the first freestyle ski camps in Canada and built the first water ski ramps in the country. His camps and water ramps were instrumental in helping train a number of moguls, ballet and aerials skiers who went on to become world champions, in turn helping position Canada as a country that has dominated freestyle skiing since the early 1970's. He is the inventor of the Daigle Banger and starred in Warren Miller's 1972 film, Winter People. Daigle co-authored Free Style Skiing in 1974 and in 1999 was inducted into the Laurentian Ski Hall of Fame. (en) |
