Henri Joyal

Québec, Canada | Active: 2022-present public record | Known for: Slopestyle, big air, Équipe Québec, Junior Worlds 2023, Canadian Nationals big air silver | Current: Active FIS athlete

Stoneham Under Cold Lights

The Stoneham course can look flat under Quebec winter light, then suddenly speed up when the takeoff turns firm. Henri Joyal’s public record starts to make sense in that setting: cold eastern snow, repeated park laps, and a slopestyle lane where every rail exit has to carry enough speed into the next jump. His best verified profile is not built from one viral clip or a senior World Cup result. It is built from the Quebec development system, Nor-Am starts, Junior Worlds selection, Canadian Nationals big air, and FIS results that show a young skier moving steadily through slopestyle and big air.

Union Freeski Club And The Québec Team Route

Ski Acro Québec lists Joyal on its Équipe Québec de slopestyle page, with Union Freeski Club as his club of origin and 2022 as the year he joined the provincial team. That detail gives his skiing a clear structure. Québec has a strong freestyle identity built from cold parks, night sessions, regional clubs and a deep local culture that links contest skiing with street and rail influence. Joyal’s record fits that environment: a skier developed through a provincial pathway before appearing consistently on FIS sheets.

FIS Code And The Active Athlete Marker

FIS lists him as Henri JOYAL of Canada, born in 2007, attached to Équipe de Québec de Slopestyle and active under FIS code 2539669. That official record matters because it separates him from a purely social-media or edit-only profile. His FIS archive includes starts from 2023 through 2026 in freeski slopestyle and freeski big air. The categories are narrow but useful: no verified halfpipe path, no freeride profile, and no senior podium claims. The clean read is a Quebec park skier working through big air and slopestyle development events.

Stoneham Gave Him The First Nor-Am Shape

Joyal’s 2023 and 2024 Nor-Am results both point back to Stoneham Mountain Resort. FIS records him seventh in men’s freeski slopestyle at Stoneham on March 25, 2023, then seventh again at Stoneham on March 30, 2024. Those two results are useful because they show repeat quality at the same Quebec venue, not a single isolated finish. Stoneham is close to the provincial system that shaped him, but it is still a serious Nor-Am stop, with Canadian and American riders testing rail sections, jump timing and course control in winter conditions.

Cardrona And The Junior Worlds Test

Freestyle Canada selected Joyal for the 2023 FIS Park and Pipe Junior World Championships in New Zealand, alongside Rémi Asselin, Charlie Beatty, Malcolm Farris, Matthew Lepine and Jacob Durepos. FIS records him at Cardrona Alpine Resort in both slopestyle and big air, finishing 54th in slopestyle and 28th in big air. Those placements were not breakthrough results, but the selection still matters. Cardrona added international travel, southern-hemisphere snow, a deeper junior field and a course environment far removed from Quebec training habits.

Canadian Nationals Big Air Silver

The strongest domestic podium visible in the public record came at the 2024 Freeski Canadian National Championships in men’s big air. The results list Malcolm Farris first, Henri Joyal second and Drew Christensen third, with Ski Acro Québec attached to Joyal’s name. That result gives his profile a second discipline marker beyond slopestyle. Big air reduces the format to one or two defining moments: speed, pop, rotation control, grab clarity and landing discipline. Joyal’s silver shows that his competitive value is not only full-course slopestyle.

Whistler Blackcomb Put Him On Another Podium

On April 5, 2025, Joyal finished third in men’s freeski slopestyle at Whistler-Blackcomb, behind Aidan Mulvihill and Avery Macyk. The official result credited him with 62.70 FIS points. That podium matters because Whistler is a different test from Stoneham. The course sits in a Coast Mountain environment, with spring light, softer snow windows and a deep Canadian field. Joyal’s result there showed that his slopestyle could travel outside Quebec and still score inside the top three.

Sun Peaks Continued The Slopestyle Line

Joyal’s 2026 FIS sheet adds another clear slopestyle marker at Sun Peaks. FIS lists him second in men’s freeski slopestyle on January 17, 2026, scoring 41.60 FIS points, then 36th in big air the next day. Freestyle Canada also referenced the Sun Peaks Canada Cup results with Ryder McKenzie-White first, Joyal second and Grayson Witvoet third in men’s slopestyle. That result keeps the pattern consistent: his strongest public results are slopestyle podiums, while big air adds depth without carrying the whole profile.

The Technical Picture Is Park-Based

The verified public sources do not publish a full trick list, so the technical profile should stay disciplined. Joyal’s record points to slopestyle and big air, which means the base toolkit is rail entries, switch comfort, jump speed, grab control, landing discipline and full-run construction. The repeated Stoneham results show course management. The Whistler podium shows travel form. The Canadian Nationals big air silver shows single-jump scoring capacity. The safest description is a Quebec-trained park skier with balanced slopestyle and big air ability, not a specialist in pipe, moguls or freeride.

The Current Marker Is Measured Progress

Joyal is still an emerging athlete, not a World Cup regular or senior medal figure. The verified record is already strong enough for a full development profile: Équipe Québec since 2022, Union Freeski Club roots, active FIS status, Junior Worlds 2023 selection, repeated Stoneham Nor-Am top sevens, Canadian Nationals big air silver, Whistler slopestyle podium and Sun Peaks slopestyle second place. The next measurable step is whether those domestic and Nor-Am-level results become deeper finals, more international starts and a larger public video archive beyond the results sheet.
