== Personal life ==
Mac Marcoux was born on 20 June 1997 in Haviland Bay, Ontario. He resides there with his parents and two siblings, an older brother and a younger sister. He started skiing at the age of four. He also rode BMX bikes and raced go-karts. In 2006, he started losing his sight due to Stargardt disease,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canada’s Marcoux brothers turning into teenage sensations )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aoprt.ca/team/mac-marcoux/ )〕 a degenerative condition, and became legally blind in 2007. He said: "We've always been a racing family from the beginning. It's how I've grown up. Going fast was just a part of it. The faster you go the more fun it is".
After Marcoux had lost his vision, his brother Billy Joe (B.J.) Marcoux decided to put his college education on hold in order to assist him with skiing. Alpine Canada introduced them to a new kind of skiing called Para-Alpine. They were inspired by the McKeever brothers to do visually impaired para-alpine. Other than the Paralympics, his bother B.J. has been his sighted guide using radio communication ever since then; something they had never used before.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://paralympic.ca/mac-marcoux )〕
