Lac-Beauport, Quebec, Canada | Active: 2012-present | Focus: street skiing, park, backcountry freestyle, ski films | Current: Picture Organic Clothing, Armada Skis and D-Structure-supported skier Quebec Concrete After The Snowplow Passed The handrail in Quebec sat half-buried after the plow went by, snow packed into a short run-in and concrete showing through at the landing. Emile Bergeron waited while the filmer checked the angle, then stepped back into the street rhythm that shaped his career: shovel, speed check, drop, metal, impact. His skiing belongs to that hard Quebec environment where a clip is earned through weather, friends, and patience.... Read more on the Athlete page
