Rémi Asselin

Lévis / Québec, Canada | Active: 2020-present public record | Known for: Slopestyle, big air, Team Québec, Canada Games silver, Nor-Am finals | Current: FIS profile listed not active

Brookvale Wind And A First-Jump Landing

The big-air final at Brookvale, Prince Edward Island, was running through icy February weather when Rémi Asselin put down the jump that carried his Canada Games podium. The wind was strong, the surface was firm, and the Quebec team had already turned the event into a pressure test. Asselin scored 92.80 on his first jump, enough for silver behind teammate Jérémy Gagné, then tried a riskier second attempt without landing it. That one clean landing gave his public profile a clear early marker: a Lévis skier converting big-air execution into a national multi-sport medal.

Québec Team Structure Since 2020

Ski Acro Québec lists Asselin on its 2025-2026 slopestyle team, with his entry showing that he has been on the team since 2020. FIS lists him as Remi ASSELIN of Canada, attached to Équipe de Québec, born in 2006 and registered under FIS code 2538823. That structure matters because Québec freeskiing has its own rhythm: cold training days, regional park systems, club coaching, national selections, and a strong concentration of riders moving between slopestyle, big air and rail-heavy park skiing.

Lévis And The Belle Province Pathway

Ski Acro Québec identified Asselin as being from Lévis after the 2023 Canada Games big-air final. That places his development close to the Quebec City freestyle corridor, where resorts such as Stoneham, Le Relais and surrounding training hills give young riders repeated access to jumps, parks and winter competition surfaces. His public record does not publish a full club biography, so the safe framing is regional rather than invented. What is verified is stronger: Team Québec membership, FIS registration, Canada Games results, Junior Worlds selection and a small but real Nor-Am slopestyle record.

Canada Games Silver Before The Nor-Am Results Deepened

The 2023 Canada Games remain the most complete narrative source around Asselin. Ski Acro Québec reported that Jérémy Gagné and Asselin delivered a Quebec one-two in men’s big air at Mark Arendz Provincial Ski Park, with Gagné winning on 94.80 and Asselin following on 92.80. The same report records Asselin finishing fourth in men’s slopestyle with 80.50, just behind Gagné’s bronze score of 81.17. Those results show both sides of his profile early: enough single-hit strength to medal in big air, and enough run construction to remain near the slopestyle podium the next day.

Junior Worlds Selection In Italy

Freestyle Canada and Ski Acro Québec both confirmed Asselin’s selection for the 2024 FIS Park and Pipe Junior World Championships in Livigno / Mottolino, Italy. Ski Acro Québec described him as joining the Canadian slopestyle team for the event, while Freestyle Canada’s roster listed him alongside Charlie Beatty, Matthew Lepine, Malcolm Farris, Jacob Durepos, Matthaeus Heslop, Ella Garrod, Gabrielle Dinn and Avery Krumme for slopestyle and big air. His FIS results show him qualifying 26th and finishing 73rd in the final Junior Worlds slopestyle classification. That outcome was not a breakthrough finish, but the selection itself confirms his place inside Canada’s junior development pool.

Copper Mountain Gave Him A Nor-Am Final

The strongest Nor-Am number on Asselin’s FIS sheet came at Copper Mountain on January 24, 2024. He placed seventh in men’s freeski slopestyle with 58.10 FIS points and 36 cup points. The published final sheet placed Walker Woodring first, Hugh MacMenamin second, Tate Garrod third, James Kanzler fourth, Bruce Oldham fifth and Tanner Blakely sixth, with Asselin just behind them. Copper is a useful measuring venue because the course is bigger and faster than most regional Canadian park setups. A final there shows that Asselin could carry a judged slopestyle run into a deep North American development field.

Aspen Followed With Another Top-Eleven Marker

Two months later, Asselin placed 11th in men’s freeski slopestyle at Aspen Snowmass on March 19, 2024, according to FIS. That result matters because it followed the Copper final instead of standing alone. Aspen and Snowmass bring a different contest texture: high-altitude speed, bigger course rhythm, changing spring light and a field familiar with the same venues used by top North American athletes. Asselin did not reach the podium, but the result kept him in the competitive middle of the Nor-Am development lane.

Sub-Zero Copper And The 2025 Canadian Group

Freestyle Canada’s January 2025 Copper Mountain report gives a useful snapshot of Asselin’s later competitive context. The organization described sub-zero temperatures below -20°C and difficult training conditions, then noted that Tate Garrod and Remi Asselin made the men’s finals, finishing sixth and tenth respectively. FIS lists Asselin’s January 15, 2025 Copper result as tenth in Nor-Am Cup freeski slopestyle, with 45.20 FIS points and 26 cup points. That was not a podium, but it kept him in the final group during a Canadian-heavy men’s field led by Bruce Oldham, Matthaeus Heslop, Charlie Beatty and Alexander Henderson.

Stoneham And The Quebec Big-Air Context

Asselin’s public record also connects naturally to Stoneham Mountain Resort, one of Quebec’s strongest freestyle venues. LiveHeats listed him among entries for the 2023 FIS Nor-Am Big Air at Stoneham, while Ski Acro Québec’s team page places him inside the provincial slopestyle structure that uses Quebec competition and training venues throughout the season. Stoneham’s importance is practical: big-air features, night skiing, a permanent freestyle training identity and proximity to Quebec City. For a Lévis-based athlete, that regional ecosystem helps explain how slopestyle and big air can develop from a cold eastern province into Nor-Am starts.

How Asselin’s Skiing Should Be Read

The verified sources do not publish a full trick list, so his technical profile should stay disciplined. The clean record points to slopestyle and big air rather than halfpipe, moguls or freeride. His Canada Games silver shows single-jump strength under pressure. His fourth place in Canada Games slopestyle and Nor-Am results at Copper and Aspen show full-run ability. The likely competitive toolkit is standard for a developing park skier: rail entries, switch approaches, jump speed, grab control, landing discipline, and enough big-air confidence to score when the format isolates one or two major tricks.

The Current Record Is A Development Snapshot

Asselin’s FIS profile is currently listed as not active, so the article should not present him as a current senior international competitor. The verified profile is more precise: Lévis skier, Team Québec member since 2020, Canada Games big-air silver, Canada Games slopestyle fourth, Junior Worlds 2024 selection, Copper Nor-Am seventh, Aspen Nor-Am eleventh and Copper Nor-Am tenth in difficult 2025 weather. That makes him a legitimate emerging Canadian freeski profile, strongest as a snapshot of Quebec’s slopestyle and big-air pathway rather than a finished professional résumé.
