Alain LaRoche (born 2 September 1963) is a retired Canadian freestyle skier who competed from 1982 to 1990.[1] LaRoche competed in aerials, moguls, ski ballet, and combined.[2] At the inaugural Freestyle World Ski Championships in 1986 at Tignes, France, LaRoche took gold in the combined event.[3] Across eight World Cup seasons, LaRoche amassed 21 first-place finishes, a mark that was eclipsed by Mikael Kingsbury in 2015.[2][4]
With his brothers Yves, and Philippe, LaRoche along with Lloyd Langlois, Jean-Marc Rozon, and Nicolas Fontaine were a group of Quebec freestylers who excelled in the sport and collectively were known as the Quebec Air Force.[5] Another brother, Dominique also competed in freestyle, and sister Lucie was an alpine ski racer.[2]
LaRoche has been inducted into Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame (1987), and the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame (1999).[2]
