Q&A

1.) When was your 'breakout year' and how did it happen?

My first year trying out freeskiing and living in Whistler. I was just out skiing everyday all day for my first ever 3 months of freestyle and loving it. I got a phone call at 8am from Atomic asking if I would be interested to go to the Orage Masters in Mammoth with them. So, my first ski trip was a blast and I got a sponsor out of it.

2.) What have been some of your toughest challenges this past season? How did you overcome them

- Getting back strong and healthy after my 4th ACL reconstructive knee surgery - Getting my web series "Maad Maude" off the ground

3.) If you weren't a professional skier, what would you be doing?

Who knows ! I am pretty happy right now .

4.) Favorite Discrete product?

Le Maad

5.) Who are some of your favorite people to follow on Instagram?

@natgeo @thegoodquote @transworldskate @gopro @redbullcanada @kjp @vans … but mostly my friends & sponsors!

6.) When and where did you learn to ski? Who did you learn from?

I learn to ski when I was 1 year old, my dad thought me & it was at Chantecler, Ste-Adele. My family have a place right by a lake, that we would go up every weekend, summers & time off school, and the ski hill was right across from it. So my dad, brother and I would push our way across all the way to the ski lift. Probably the best time of my life.
