Nicholas Brush

Guide Nick Brush continued his successful partnership with para-alpine skier Chris Williamson in 2014, although under unexpected circumstances. Brush was a late replacement after Williamson’s scheduled guide for Sochi, Robin Fémy, was moved to ski with Mac Marcoux. Marcoux’s original guide, his brother B.J., was injured just before the start of the Sochi Games and could not race.
