Carson Theriault

Hometown: Fort Kent, Maine | Active: 2020-present | Known for: Big Mess of Homies and USCSA All-American honors | Disciplines: street skiing, park skiing, slopestyle, rail skiing

Carson Theriault developed his skiing in Fort Kent, at the northern edge of Maine, far from the larger park scenes that drive much of American freeski media. Lonesome Pine Trails provided his local hill, while nearby streets and small features gave Theriault and other northern Maine skiers terrain for independent filming. He later carried that background to the University of Maine at Farmington, where street and park skiing became part of a collegiate competition career that eventually produced multiple USCSA All-American honors.

Fort Kent roots start at Lonesome Pine

Theriault grew up in Fort Kent and attended Fort Kent Community High School. Before focusing on freeski, he competed in alpine racing for the school, appearing in slalom and giant-slalom results around Lonesome Pine Trails. The University of Maine at Farmington later listed Fort Kent as his hometown and Lonesome Pine Trails as his home ski area. That northern Maine background remained visible after his move toward park and street skiing.

North Coast 2020: local street crew forms

One of Theriault's earliest documented freeski appearances is North Coast's Street/Lonesome Pine Trails, published in September 2020 from footage filmed earlier in Fort Kent. The crew travelled north to ski street spots with Theriault and Travis Boyington before finishing the session at Lonesome Pine Trails. Rowan Stamp and Ben Amburgey also appeared in the edit, connecting Theriault directly to the wider Maine crew that would later assemble a full street movie.

Farmington 2021: freeski replaces alpine focus

Theriault enrolled at the University of Maine at Farmington to study environmental science and initially appeared on the school's alpine roster. His skiing later shifted toward the university's freeski programme. Alongside Ryan Brueninghaus and Samuel Scheff, he helped UMF finish sixth in the men's freeski team combined at the USCSA National Championships, which was then the best men's freeski national result in programme history. The move linked his northern Maine park background with a structured collegiate contest schedule.

North Coast 2021: Big Mess reaches full movie

Theriault's strongest film credit came with Big Mess of Homies, released by North Coast in November 2021. The crew described the film as a response to the isolation of Maine's ski scene from the rest of the East Coast. Theriault appeared alongside Kyle Bell, Ryan and Sean Brueninghaus, Sam Scheff, Rowan Stamp, Ben Amburgey, Tommy Cogswell and other regional riders. Ben Amburgey and Ian Bohrmann handled the principal filming and editing.

USCSA 2024: Theriault earns All-American honors

Theriault's final UMF season produced his strongest documented competition campaign. At the 2024 USCSA National Championships, he finished fourth in the men's rail jam as Farmington placed three skiers inside the top four and won the team national title. UMF subsequently named Theriault a Combined, Slopestyle and Rail Jam All-American. He graduated later that spring with a Bachelor of Science in Earth & Environmental Sciences, closing a collegiate period that had connected Fort Kent street skiing, North Coast film projects and national-level university freeski competition.
