ATHLETE AMBASSADORS

Edouard Therriault

Discipline : Ski Freestyle

« My first ski memories were made at Tremblant. At 2 years old, I went down my first slope, then did my first backflip, followed by a double flip. Today, my best memories are those spent with my friends from the freestyle club, friendships that continue to grow. Thank you Tremblant for allowing me to discover myself as a skier and an individual. -Peace »

Since his World Cup debut in Quebec City in 2019, Édouard Therriault has continued to shine. He won gold in slopestyle at the FIS Junior World Championships, a first for Canada, and joined the World Cup team in 2019-2020. Édouard made history in 2021 by winning the silver medal in big air at the FIS World Championships, a first podium for Canada in this discipline. With a perfectly executed double bio 1800 switch, he earned 93.50 points, the second best score of the day, just 2.25 points behind the champion. This result marked a turning point in his career. In 2022, he secured his first World Cup podium with a bronze medal in slopestyle in Font-Romeu.

Jade Chrétien

Discipline : Ski Freeride

 

“To me, Tremblant has always been synonymous with weekends of pure fun. As an all-around skier, I love to explore all aspects of the sport. Whether on the slopes, in the glades or in the snow park, the variety of terrain is really fun! Of course, I also enjoy the village with my friends after a long day of skiing.”

The first time Jade put on skis was right here in Tremblant. Since the age of 5, she has been passionate about the sport. She spent her childhood weekends traveling to ski resorts across Quebec, looking for glades and jumps on the side of the slopes. Jade participated in several slopestyle competitions and friendly rail jams before devoting herself to teaching skiing for a few years.

Three years ago, she participated in her first freeride competition. Her competitive spirit and determination led her to start a career as a freeride athlete. She has since competed in Vermont, British Columbia and France. Although she is just entering her 30s, she feels like she is still in her 20s. Proof that it is never too late to start.

William Beaurehard

Discipline : Ski – Terrain Park

William has always felt a deep sense of gratitude for living in Tremblant. Its pedestrian village and mountain have shaped his character, nourished his dreams, and fueled his great passion for skiing.

Born and raised in Mont-Tremblant, he grew up just 10 minutes from the resort. Every morning, his parents would take him to the slopes when they opened and pick him up at closing, regardless of the weather. He spent a lot of his childhood exploring Tremblant’s terrain parks. What he particularly loves about the Adrénaline Park is all the legends that have grown around it—the stories, the competitions, and the memories shared with friends, all of which give this place a unique spirit.

At 30 years of age, his passion for skiing is stronger than ever. Although the past few years have been more challenging for him, skiing has helped him greatly to overcome obstacles and navigate through difficult times. For William, skiing is a way to stay grounded and keep moving forward! Check out his freestyle skills. 

 

Valérie Guillotte

Discipline : Snowboard – Alpine Touring

From a very young age, Tremblant has been Valérie’s mountain of choice. As a fearful skier, her parents were certain that skiing wouldn’t be her sport, but 20 years later, it has become her number one passion. She developed a love for snowboarding and alpine touring, and now her weekends are dedicated to it.

Tremblant is where she discovered all of this. It’s the mountain that introduced her to a community of people as passionate as she is, who have now become her friends. It’s also the only place that makes her feel like she’s on vacation, even on an ordinary Saturday or Sunday. At Tremblant, she continues to grow and evolve, both in winter and summer! Find out more about her and her passion.

 

Cody Ratcliffe

Discipline : Snowboard

Cody is a born and raised Mont-Tremblant native. Having travelled the world for snowboarding and seen many places, he has always chosen to make Tremblant his home. He’s at his happiest when outside, especially in the snow. In the winter, he enjoys spending his time on the hill snowboarding or alpine touring up the moutain to catch the sunset. Cody is also a Level 4 snowboard instructor and loves to share his passion for snowboarding to the next generation.

Some of his favourite times on the mountain are early morning solo groomer runs. But nothing beats a great day with friends on the slopes and a bit of apres-ski in the sun. Follow his days on the slopes.
