The favourite going into Sunday’s competition, the twice Super-G season winner was flawless during his one minute, 30.76 second trip down the course in western Canada.
“Winning the race proves that you are on the right track, so I‘m very happy with my win today in Lake Louise,” he said of the first of six Super-Gs of the Olympic season.
Sunday’s race comes with just 74 days remaining before the opening ceremony of Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
Two Austrians, Max Franz (1:31.04) and 37-year-old Hannes Reichelt (1:31.08), the oldest skier racing in Sunday’s field, finished second and third.
Aleksander Aamodt Kilde (1:31.17) and Aksel Lund Svindal (1:31.28), two Norwegians who, along with Jansrud, are known as the “Attacking Vikings,” finished fourth and fifth.
The 32-year-old Jansrud was among the first to race on Sunday and benefited from clear conditions that were not enjoyed by many of his competitors.
Heavy snow fell as the day progressed, slowing the course down and impacting visibility.
Jansrud had finished fifth in the downhill event on Saturday and the winner of that race, Swiss Beat Feuz, finished 12th in the Super-G on Sunday.
A scary moment occurred when Briton Jack Gower crashed at full speed into the course’s net fencing, losing a ski and tumbling awkwardly.
He waved his hand to the crowd to indicate he was fine and was able to ski to the end of the course under his own strength after the race was temporarily suspended.
The sport is still mourning the death of French skier David Poisson in a training accident in Alberta on November 13.
The next stop for the men is Beaver Creek, where there will be Super-G, downhill and giant slalom events between December 1-3.
