Answer:
As of 2010

Canada with 14 - Vancouver 2010 Olympics.

Additional Facts:



Norway won 13 gold medals at the 2002 games in Salt Lake City, U.S.A.
The Former Soviet Union won 13 gold medals at the 1976 games in Innsbruck, Austria.

When the former USSR won 13 Medals in 1976 their were only 37 events and when Norway won 13 in 2002 there were 78 events not 86 like in Vancouver.



More context for the additional facts:


When the USSR won 13 in 1976, only 37 nations participated. In 2010, when Canada won a record 14 golds, 82 nations participated. Kudos to the Canadians for winning the most gold medals while competing against the most nations ever at a Winter Olympics!
