Next to Edi Podivinsky, North York's Luke Sauder was the top Canadian downhiller on the World Cup circuit last season, placing a respectable 23rd overall, which included four top-15 finishes. His 11th-place showing in Chamonix, France on Jan.11 represented a career best.
  A bit of a late bloomer on the world scene, Sauder sraces with that quintessential, go-for-broke Crazy Canuck style, fists-pumping, arms-waving. The Cambridge-based skier has proven that dedication to the craft, as well as experience, can take an athlete a long way on the world stage.
  It seems to be just a matter of time before Sauder, if he can avoid injuries, cracks the top-10 with consistency.
