Tchad Lemay
Plessisville, Québec | Public Record: 2023-present | Known for: Peacefully, Timeless, B-Dog Off The Leash Fan Favorite, All Urban All Bangers | Focus: urban skiing, rider-made short films and Québec street culture
Plessisville Concrete Before The First Rail
The backyard of the Centre de formation professionnelle André-Morissette in Plessisville was not a ski resort. It was cold Québec air, schoolyard concrete, a handmade approach and one structure that gave Tchad Lemay a place to repeat the same movement until it finally worked.
That origin explains his public profile better than a competition sheet. Lemay is not documented as a World Cup, X Games or Olympic skier. His lane is urban skiing: rails, rural structures, short films, local crews, weather problems and the process of turning non-ski spaces into features that can hold one clean clip.
Mont Apic Before The Streets
La Nouvelle reports that Lemay started alpine skiing at age eleven at Mont Apic, in Saint-Pierre-Baptiste. He then moved quickly toward urban skiing, first working on structures in Plessisville before expanding to spots across Québec. That gives his story a clear regional base rather than a vague “Canadian skier” label.
His own explanation in that report points toward creativity as the draw. Urban skiing gave him individual objectives: a trick, a feature, a problem to solve and hours of repetition. In that world, progression is less about course scores and more about whether a skier can imagine a line, build it safely enough and make it work on camera.
Peacefully And The Respect Question
Peacefully is Lemay’s first strong public film marker. iF3 describes it as a short project carried out by Tchad Lemay to show that urban skiing can be practiced with freedom, pleasure and respect when there is evidence of humanity. The listed production includes Handyman as filmer and La Place du Ski as a commerce partner.
The project’s framing matters because urban skiing is often criticized when it moves through public or rural spaces. Peacefully does not present the discipline only as impact and risk. It places respect, permission, awareness and human contact inside the same conversation as tricks. That gives Lemay’s profile a more thoughtful angle than a standard rail edit.
All Urban All Bangers In Montréal
Peacefully also reached the first edition of All Urban All Bangers in Montréal in October 2023. Newschoolers listed it in a packed street-skiing premiere lineup with Lazy Mary by Parker Guimond, Bonjour Brother by Kingfield Killaz, Dogged by The Runge, MTL2 by Xavier Mayrand, All in Good Time by Child Labor and other projects.
That screening placed Lemay inside a larger street-skiing conversation. The event was not a local slideshow; it brought together Canadian, American and European street projects in one Montréal night. For a Québec rider with a short film about rural urban skiing, that kind of placement gives the work a credible core-ski audience.
Timeless After A Broken Weather Season
Timeless extended Lemay’s public record in 2024. iF3 describes the short film as directed by Tchad Lemay, a skier from Québec, and built around the work of a season loaded with temperature reversals but without procrastination. The athlete list includes Tchad Lemay, Maxime Rivard, William Tanguay and Édouard Lachance.
That description fits Québec street skiing closely. Temperature swings can destroy run-ins, melt landings, refreeze stairs and turn a planned spot into a useless patch of ice. A rider-led film in that environment depends on timing. When snow arrives, the crew has to move before the feature disappears.
B-Dog Off The Leash And The Fan Vote
Lemay’s largest public recognition so far came through B-Dog Off The Leash. La Nouvelle reported in November 2024 that the Plessisville skier was participating in the fourth edition of the contest, with a public vote connected to a 5,000-dollar prize. Newschoolers later listed the 2024 Off The Leash awards with Tchad Lemay as Fan Favorite.
That result matters because the contest sat directly inside modern street-ski culture. It was not a federation event, but it reached the same audience that follows Phil Casabon, Québec rail edits and rider-made street parts. Fan Favorite status shows that Lemay’s edit moved beyond a private circle and found public support.
How Lemay’s Skiing Should Be Read
The available sources do not support a detailed list of signature tricks, sponsors or competition results. The safest technical frame is Québec urban skiing: short approaches, rails, stairs, rural structures, improvised takeoffs, speed management and tricks designed to read clearly in short video parts.
For viewers, the useful details are the same ones that define good street skiing everywhere. Watch how the run-in is built, whether the skier reaches the feature with honest speed, how calmly the body stays over the skis, and whether the landing lets the clip finish cleanly. In this lane, the spot is part of the trick.
Plessisville, Québec And The Local Crew Logic
Lemay’s profile is strongest when kept close to place. Plessisville, Mont Apic, the André-Morissette schoolyard, rural Québec and Montréal screenings all matter because they show the path from local repetition to wider ski-media visibility. This is not a story built from a national-team pipeline.
It is a story built from community infrastructure: a shop, a filmer, friends, borrowed time, public voting, iF3 listings and short films made around weather windows. Lemay’s skiing belongs to the layer of freeskiing where a rider becomes visible by finishing projects, not by waiting for a formal athlete page to appear.
Where Tchad Lemay Fits Right Now
Tchad Lemay’s public archive is still limited, but it is coherent. The verified trail runs through Peacefully, All Urban All Bangers, Timeless, La Nouvelle’s profile, and B-Dog Off The Leash Fan Favorite recognition. That is enough for a concise street-ski profile, but not enough for an inflated pro biography.
The accurate frame is Québec urban skier and rider-filmmaker. His page should stay centered on Plessisville, rural street skiing, Peacefully, Timeless, Off The Leash and Montréal’s street-ski screening culture. His current value is not a medal table. It is the proof that small Québec spots, handled with patience and respect, can still produce ski films worth watching.
