Quebec / Northeast scene | Active: 2022-present public video record | Focus: street skiing, creative park, spring sessions | Current: Keep Standing, Child Labor and Ski The East appearances
The rope tow at Maximise pulled riders back uphill in twenty-second bursts, wet snow snapping off tails as the Quebec sun dropped toward the trees. Max Gingras moved through the setup like a skier built for repeated hits: rail line, jump lap, reset, another try before the light changed. That environment explains his public profile better than any ranking sheet. Gingras does not have a major FIS contest record attached to his name. His visibility comes through the edits, crews, and spring-session footage that core freeski viewers use as their own map of who is active, creative, and trusted around metal, slush, and camera work.
One of Gingras’s clearest early public credits came in I Promise You’ll Like It, a 2022 Child Labor edit filmed during May at Mammoth Mountain. The crew list included Andrew Egan, Cal Carson, Garrett Whaley, Bennie Osnow, Blake Rolfing, Thomas Stone, Joe Fusare, AJ Lefebvre, Max Gingras, Ben Hoj, and Irie Jefferson. Mammoth spring skiing gives that credit context: large park builds, soft landings, sun-worn takeoffs, and a culture where riders can try technical park ideas outside a formal contest. The edit placed Gingras near a group associated with street, park, and independent ski media rather than federation competition.
Ski The East’s Promised Land 4.2: Maximise - Backyard Dreamland gave Gingras a stronger Quebec marker. The episode was shot at Maximise, QC, and described the location through a twenty-second rope tow, a 70-foot jump, endless rail combinations, and a massive hip jump. The cast included Mat Dufresne, Simon Angers, Felix Carriere, Dan Hatheway, Sam Putnam, Chris Bechtold, Andy Hoblitzelle, Max Gingras, Fred Lavoie, Emile Bergeron, Frank GP, Dylan Ruel, and Jeremy Gagne. That roster matters because it joins Quebec skiers with Northeast riders who share a similar approach: efficient laps, technical features, and a preference for style that can survive close camera angles.
Promised Land 4.7: Maximise Springtime Special returned to the same terrain with warmer conditions and a custom rail setup. Ski The East described slush flying, warm temperatures, a jump session, and Maximise as a spring park dream for East Coast skiers. Gingras appeared again in a cast that included Hunter Henderson, Grace Henderson, Andy Hoblitzelle, Emile Bergeron, Philippe Hamelin, Matys Durand, Justin DL, Jeremy Gagne, Fred Lavoie, Mat Dufresne, Dylan Deschamps, Bobby Sullivan, Sam Putnam, and Simon Angers. Repeated appearances in that setting make his profile easier to read: he is not a one-clip name, but a skier present in the sessions that connect Quebec with the wider Northeast park scene.
In 2024, Gingras appeared in Stand Corrected, the Keep Standing street film highlighted by Freeskier and hosted through Arsenic on Newschoolers. The film featured Daniel Hatheway, Chase Mohrman, Jackson Doremus, Sam Putnam, Matt Stackhouse, Max Gingras, Chris Bechtold, Sawyer Sellingham, Will Deschenes, Kamil Obaid, and Andy Hoblitzelle. Support came from Arsenic Anywhere, Foam Brewers, Vishnu Skis, Icelantic Skis, Anytides, and Tall Truck. That crew gives Gingras a different context from the Maximise edits. Street footage asks for shovel work, spot patience, repeated slams, rail precision, and the ability to make a short clip feel earned.
The Keep Standing thread continued with Take A Seat in 2025, presented through the Arsenic Anywhere street lane. The public credits again place Gingras among riders such as Daniel Hatheway, Connor Starr, Will Deschenes, Sam Putnam, Sawyer Sellingham, Chris Bechtold, Mat Dufresne, Jackson Doremus, and Andy Hoblitzelle. That continuity is useful because emerging street skiers often disappear after one season of clips. Gingras’s name instead returns across connected projects: Mammoth park, Quebec spring sessions, and Keep Standing street films. The public record is still narrow, but the pattern is real enough to support a concise athlete profile.
Gingras’s skiing should be described carefully because full trick sheets are not published for each appearance. The safest technical reading comes from the terrain attached to his footage: custom rails, spring jumps, rope-tow park lines, urban features, and crew-based street setups. That means switch entries, rail slides, transfers, presses, landings on uneven snow, and speed checks are more relevant to his profile than double-cork contest language. His public environment favors skiers who can keep motion clean through imperfect setups. A rider in this lane has to hit metal square, absorb chopped-out takeoffs, and leave enough style in the clip that the shot feels worth saving.
AKamp 2025 added another Quebec reference point. Newschoolers covered the fifteenth edition as a Quebec summer skiing party at Avila, with sessions from Capeesh, Arsenic, Mat Dufresne, B-Dog Off The Leash, Vulgus, and a girls ride day. The coverage identified Gingras within the Keep Standing squad alongside Tall-T Dan, Sawyer Sellingham, Chris Bechtold, and Kam Obaid. A separate Newschoolers photo credited Xavier Mayrand and listed “Max Gingras - AKamp 2025” at Akamp, Avila. For an emerging street and park skier, that matters because AKamp is not just a photo opportunity. It is a gathering where rails, jumps, crews, and brand communities overlap in one compressed summer-skiing week.
Gingras earns a 2/5 importance rating because the public trail is real but still limited. There is no verified Olympic, X Games, World Cup, or major film-part résumé to push him higher, and no clear personal sponsor page confirms a full athlete program. The reliable picture is more specific: Child Labor at Mammoth, Ski The East at Maximise, Keep Standing with Arsenic, Take A Seat, and AKamp at Avila. His next concrete markers would be longer individual segments, named parts in larger films, repeat credits with the same crews, or a brand profile that documents his role beyond cast listings.
