is this summer?

Lorraine, Quebec, Canada | Active: FIS status active; World Cup step-back announced June 2025 | Discipline: freeski big air, slopestyle, rails, creative filming | Verified: 2021 World Championships big air silver, 2019 Junior Worlds slopestyle gold, Beijing 2022 Olympian, World Cup podiums | Current: Edjoy creative ski path Aspen When The Headstand Said Everything The Buttermilk big-air jump sat under Colorado floodlights, with the landing glazed by heavy impacts and the crowd waiting for scores. Édouard Therriault had kicked a ski on takeoff, still completed the trick, then fell through the landing with the kind of chaos that made people keep watching. At X Games Aspen 2022, his rookie appearance did not end with a medal, but it gave Edjoy a clear international image.... Read more on the Athlete page

Québec, Canada | Active: 2022-present public record | Known for: Slopestyle, big air, Équipe Québec, Junior Worlds 2023, Canadian Nationals big air silver | Current: Active FIS athlete Stoneham Under Cold Lights The Stoneham course can look flat under Quebec winter light, then suddenly speed up when the takeoff turns firm. Henri Joyal’s public record starts to make sense in that setting: cold eastern snow, repeated park laps, and a slopestyle lane where every rail exit has to carry enough speed into the next jump. His best verified profile is not built from one viral clip or a senior World Cup result.... Read more on the Athlete page

Montréal, Québec | Active Public Record: 2019-present | Known for: SuperUnknown XIX, MTL, MTL 2, Word To The Wise, Seasons, J Skis Poutine collab | Current: Montreal street skiing and Xavier Mayrand film projects Montréal Concrete With Barely Enough Snow The rail sat above Montréal concrete with just enough snow to make the run-in possible. Mat Dufresne, known across the street-skiing scene as Mat Duf, had no clean mountain landing, no park crew resetting the feature, and no safety margin from perfect winter conditions. The shot depended on timing, commitment, and the kind of quiet confidence that has become central to his skiing.... Read more on the Athlete page

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. 80 on his first jump, enough for silver behind teammate Jérémy Gagné, then tried a riskier second attempt without landing it....

Québec / Montréal, Canada | Active: 2019-present public ski-media record | Known for: VULGUS365, Quebec freeski culture, early Newschoolers clips, AKamp hosting | Current: VULGUS365 owner / founder figure Sam McKernan is a Canadian freeski scene figure best documented through VULGUS365, the Quebec-rooted outerwear and streetwear label he is publicly identified with in ski-media interviews. His profile is not built around FIS results, X Games starts or a formal contest résumé. It sits closer to the culture layer of skiing: snowpants, limited drops, athlete support, local crews, pop-ups, and the way clothing becomes part of the visual language of park and street edits....

Saint-Sauveur, Quebec, Canada | Active: 2022-present public record | Discipline: street skiing, creative park, slopestyle and big air | Public support: Surface Skis, Joystick, Vulgus Akamp Snow Under Summer Trees The rail line at St-Sauveur’s Akamp looked strange against the green Laurentian hills. Thomas Galarneau stood beside a yellow feature with slushy snow cut into a narrow lane, the kind of summer setup where every slide needs speed, balance, and a quick reset before the strip melts softer. That image gives the clearest entry point into his skiing.... Read more on the Athlete page

Quebec ski resort in the Laurentians near Montreal | Known for: Sommet Saint-Sauveur, Versant Avila, SnoPrk les Sommets, Main Park, rope tow, night skiing, long Quebec ski season, Hill 70 history, snowmaking and Laurentians park progression | Season: November to May depending on operations | Best for: park riders, rail crews, night sessions, beginner-to-advanced progression, Montreal-based freeskiers and Eastern Canada resort discovery Laurentians Night Skiing Above Montreal Sommet Saint-Sauveur sits in the Laurentians, close enough to Montreal that it functions as both a regional destination and a repeat-session training hill. The mountain’s value is not huge vertical or big-mountain terrain. Its value is access, lights, snowmaking, park culture and a winter operating rhythm that lets skiers ride when many other hills are closed, dark or waiting for coverage....

Quebec freeski outerwear and streetwear label | Known for: snowpants, 3L shell jackets, hoodies and limited drops | Focus: loose silhouettes for park, street and everyday winter culture. Quebec drop culture behind the VULGUS365 name VULGUS365 is not a ski manufacturer, binding company or long-established outdoor corporation. It is a Quebec-rooted ski outerwear and streetwear label built around limited drops, loose silhouettes and a direct connection to the visual side of modern freeskiing....
