Jérémy Gagné

Stoneham, Québec | Active: 2021-present | Known for: Canadian NextGen slopestyle, big air, rail events, Nor-Am podiums, Stoneham World Cup | Current: Freestyle Canada NextGen Slopestyle/Big Air

Stoneham When The Crowd Was His Own

The Stoneham course sat under a Québec winter sky, loud with family voices, cold air, and the scrape of skis leaving the start. Jérémy Gagné had grown up on that mountain; now he was dropping into a World Cup slopestyle line where every rail, jump, and landing carried hometown pressure.

That February 2025 start gave his public story a clear image. Gagné was no longer only the kid from Club ski acrobatique de Stoneham watching World Cup riders from the side of the course. He had become the local athlete in the bib, representing Canada on the same hill that built his skiing.

From Stoneham Lessons To The National Team

Freestyle Canada lists Gagné as born and raised in Stoneham, Québec. He started skiing at age three and joined Club ski acrobatique de Stoneham at six, which places his development inside one of Canada’s core freestyle environments. The hill gave him early access to jumps, rails, coaching, icy landings, and the kind of repetition young slopestyle skiers need before competition travel begins.

His national-team profile lists him as part of Freestyle Canada’s NextGen Slopestyle/Big Air group, with the national team since 2023. That status fits an athlete still building senior results, but already trusted inside the Canadian pipeline. His stated goals include X Games, the Olympic Winter Games, and invitations to events such as SLVSH Cup.

Calgary And Aspen Before The World Cup Step

Gagné’s Nor-Am results built the bridge toward bigger starts. Freestyle Canada lists a 3rd place in Calgary slopestyle during the 2021/22 season, then two 2022/23 slopestyle runner-up results: Calgary, Canada and Aspen, United States. The same profile lists a 3rd place in Stoneham big air during the 2022/23 season.

Those results matter because Nor-Am freeskiing is a proving ground, not a shortcut. Riders face long travel, tight fields, changing courses, and young North American skiers chasing the same national-team spots. Gagné’s podiums showed he could turn park skill into scored runs before stepping consistently into World Cup fields.

Chur, Stubai, Mammoth And The First Senior Markers

The 2023/24 season gave Gagné his first strong senior markers. Freestyle Canada lists 13th in big air at Chur, 15th in slopestyle at Stubai, and 13th in slopestyle at Mammoth Mountain. FIS records confirm the Chur big air result, where he finished 13th with 85.33 points in a field won by Canadian Dylan Deschamps.

Mammoth added another layer in February 2024. FIS results list Gagné 13th in the World Cup slopestyle and 3rd in qualification. One week later, he won the Mammoth Mountain Nor-Am Cup Premium slopestyle. That sequence showed both sides of his season: learning inside elite World Cup fields, then converting form into a Nor-Am win.

The Mechanics In His Contest Skiing

Gagné’s public contest profile points to a skier comfortable in both slopestyle and big air. In slopestyle, the focus is course management: clean rail entries, stable switch takeoffs, enough amplitude through the jumps, and landings that keep speed into the next feature. His best World Cup results so far have come when those pieces connect without losing flow.

Big air asks a narrower question. One takeoff, one trick, one landing. Gagné’s Chur result and repeated big air starts show that his development is not limited to rail-heavy riding. He needs pop, air awareness, grab control, spotting, axis management, and the ability to land under judging pressure with little room to repair a mistake.

Stoneham Pressure And A Difficult Start

Before the 2025 Stoneham World Cup, Journal de Québec reported that Gagné was eager to compete at home after growing up and learning to ski there. He said participating felt bigger than a dream, because he had watched the 2017 Stoneham World Cup as a young skier and now found himself in the event.

The same report captured a harder part of that moment. Gagné said his season start had been difficult, mentioning landing problems and scores that did not go his way. That detail is useful because it keeps the profile grounded. His pathway is not a straight climb. It includes home pressure, missed landings, judging gaps, and the mental reset required to keep attacking a course.

D-Structure, Vulgus And Armada Support

Freestyle Canada lists D-Structure, Vulgus, and Armada Skis as Gagné’s sponsors. That mix fits his Québec identity. D-Structure is tied to the province’s freeski retail and streetwear culture, Vulgus connects him with a rider-led visual world, and Armada gives him a recognized freeski equipment platform for park, slopestyle, and big air progression.

D-Structure’s own product copy around a JER2 fundraising item says the shop has supported Gagné since his orange helmet days and that the profits were meant to go directly toward his skiing. That kind of support matters in an emerging contest career. Travel, training, tuning, coaching, and time away from work all become part of the season’s hidden cost.

Aspen Rail Win And Mammoth Podium In 2026

Gagné’s 2025/26 FIS results added fresh evidence of progression outside the World Cup lane. In February 2026, he finished 2nd in the Stoneham Nor-Am rail event. In March, he placed 3rd in Mammoth Mountain Nor-Am slopestyle, then won the Aspen/Buttermilk Nor-Am Cup Premium rail event on March 24, 2026.

The Aspen rail win is especially useful for reading his range. A rail event rewards a different skill set than a full slopestyle course: balance, creativity, pressure through the feet, quick transitions, and clean exits over short, technical features. Gagné’s ability to podium in slopestyle and win on rails suggests a contest skier with a real street-and-jib layer.

World Championships And The Next Selection Fight

Gagné also reached the 2025 World Championships in Engadin. FIS records list him in men’s freeski slopestyle qualification and big air, with final championship placements of 47th in slopestyle and 24th in big air. Those results do not define him as a medal contender yet, but they put him into a senior global championship field.

The next phase is measurable. Gagné needs cleaner qualification runs, stronger World Cup consistency, and more results like his Mammoth and Aspen Nor-Am performances. His public arc is still emerging: Stoneham roots, Canadian NextGen status, Nor-Am podiums, World Cup top 15s, championship starts, and a rail-event win that hints at a wider technical base than slopestyle alone.
