Phil Boily-Doucet

Québec, Canada | Active public archive: 2015-present | Known for: Montréal street skiing, MTL 2, Word to the Wise, B-Dog Off The Leash, 2018 Québec City Big Air | Current public record: Quebec street and park skier



Montréal Metal Under A Low Winter Sky



The Montréal spot looked tight, cold, and unforgiving: a wall, a fence, a short run-in, and snow packed just high enough to make the idea possible. Phil Boily-Doucet’s street skiing belongs to that kind of setting, where the feature is not clean until the crew makes it skiable.

His public record has two sides. One is competitive, with a Team Québec slopestyle background, Nor-Am starts, and a 2018 Big Air World Cup appearance in downtown Québec City. The other side is stronger on screen: Montréal street projects, B-Dog Off The Leash, and rider-driven Quebec films where rails, walls, picnic tables, bike racks, and awkward landings carry the story.



Team Québec Before The Street Focus



Boily-Doucet appears in the early structure of Quebec’s formal slopestyle pathway. In 2016, Le Journal de Montréal listed Philippe Boily-Doucet among the nine athletes brought together for the creation of Équipe Québec de slopestyle en ski, alongside Antoine Poirier, Florence Therriault, Marilou Bouthiette, Émile Gravel, Guillaume Chazal, Antoine Plamondon, Philippe Langevin, and Mathieu Dufresne.

That moment matters because it places him inside a real provincial development system before his public image became more street-oriented. Quebec freeski culture has always had both sides: coached slopestyle progression and a deep urban rail scene. Boily-Doucet’s later work makes more sense when read through both tracks.



Québec City Big Air In 2018



FIS lists Philippe Boily-Doucet as a Canadian freestyle skier born in 2000, with athlete code 2534057 and a current status of not active. His result sheet is compact but useful, especially around the 2018 season.

On March 24, 2018, he finished 16th in the Québec City Big Air World Cup. Two days earlier, TVA Sports reported that Étienne Geoffroy Gagnon, Philippe Boily-Doucet, Philippe Langevin, and Alex Bellemare had all been eliminated during men’s qualifying at Îlot Fleurie. The same FIS record also lists Nor-Am starts that season at Aspen/Buttermilk and Mammoth Mountain.



Aspen, Mammoth, And The Nor-Am Test



The Nor-Am results add scale to the competitive section of his profile. In February 2018, FIS lists him ninth in Big Air at Aspen/Buttermilk and 78th in slopestyle the day before. In March, he placed 17th in Nor-Am Cup slopestyle at Mammoth Mountain.

Those results do not frame him as a contest headliner, but they confirm that Boily-Doucet spent time in serious start-gate environments. Big air demands pop, axis control, grab security, and clean landings under pressure. Slopestyle adds rails, jumps, course rhythm, and the ability to keep speed through multiple features. That base carries into his later street footage.



MTL 2 And The Montréal Street Frame



MTL 2 is the strongest film marker in Boily-Doucet’s public record. Downdays and Prime Skiing list the project as a Montréal street skiing film directed by Xavier Mayrand, starring Mat Dufresne, Phil Boily-Doucet, and Paul Vieuxtemps.

The project is described as another street skiing exploration of Montréal with Quebec’s new generation of talent. Downdays also notes support from J Skis, LINE Skis, Newschoolers, and Axis Boardshop, with official selections at High Five Festival 2023 and iF3 Festival 2023. That festival trail gives the film more weight than a normal web edit, especially for a regional street project.



Word To The Wise In A Difficult Winter



Word to the Wise followed as a short Quebec street skiing film released in December 2024. SBC Skier describes it as a five-minute follow-up to MTL and MTL 2, shot and edited by Xavier Mayrand and documenting the 2023-2024 winter season of Mat Dufresne and Phil Boily-Doucet.

The production context matters. Mat Dufresne explains in the article that the season was difficult because weather and schedules were hard to align. Some spots failed because of security or snow conditions. That is street skiing in its real form: not a clean park lap, but a fragile plan where run-in, snow, access, time, and security all decide whether a trick can happen.



B-Dog Off The Leash In Shawinigan



Boily-Doucet also belongs to the B-Dog Off The Leash story. The 2024 Newschoolers recap lists him among the Quebec riders present in Shawinigan, then names him as one of the eight finalists with Mat Dufresne, Phil Langevin, Raf Diaz, Tom Galarneau, Edjoy, Olivia Asselin, and Alex Bellemare.

The same recap gives a clear trick marker from his final jam: a switch 270 on pretzel 270 out on the bike-rack rail to switch tails on to switch on the down rail, plus a switch 270 on back 270 out on the bike-rack rail to lip 270 on the down rail. That language fits his lane: technical, rail-specific, and built around line construction rather than one isolated hit.



Shawi, Doghouse, And The 2026 Return



In 2026, Newschoolers again placed Boily-Doucet at B-Dog Off The Leash in Quebec. The article lists him among a large gathering that included Mat Dufresne, Vincent Gagnier, Vince Prévost, Jérémy Gagné, Félix Carrière, Alexis Fortin, Émile Bergeron, Anthony Patry, Alex Bellemare, Edjoy, and others.

The 2026 recap also describes Phil and the team helping build a full public-park course with features that allowed multiple approaches. One caption places him on the Off The Leash Doghouse, while another notes him flowing through the course with his signature style. That event keeps his current public image close to Quebec’s rider-built street community.



How Boily-Doucet Skis Street



Boily-Doucet’s verified footage and event context point toward a rail-first technical style. The repeated terrain is Montréal street, Shawinigan public-park builds, picnic tables, bike-rack rails, down rails, fence wallrides, wall stalls, and tight urban approaches.

The toolkit is precise: switch 270s, pretzel exits, lip 270s, tails on, back 270s, 180 on 180 out, wallrides, stalls, flat-to-down control, and line-based rail skiing. His skiing reads best when the camera stays close enough to show the lock-in and the exit. The trick is only complete if the momentum survives into the next feature.



The Current Public Shape



Boily-Doucet’s profile now sits between two records: a short but real contest résumé and a stronger street-film archive. FIS, Team Québec, Québec City Big Air, Aspen, and Mammoth give the competition base. MTL 2, Word to the Wise, and B-Dog Off The Leash give the culture.

The accurate reading is not that he left one world completely for another. It is that his skiing now communicates better through spots, crews, and Quebec street formats than through rankings. His next public markers will likely come from Montréal footage, Mayrand-led projects, B-Dog events, and rail-heavy Quebec sessions.
