Salomon Jib Academy Canadian Stop #3

Salomon Jib Academy Mont-Tremblant, QC

What do you get when you have Canadian Skiers; 

Charles Gagnier, Alexis Godbout, JD Zicat, Kaya Turski, Vincent Gagnier, Iannick Brouillette, Sandy Boville, Jen Crichton, Paul Bergeron and Phil Casabon together? That’s right, the Salomon Jib Academy at Mont Tremblant during the TELUS Spin festival!

The Salomon team was uber excited to school and be schooled by the future stars of Quebec.

After a big night at the Coca Cola T4 event (Charles’ team won) the Salomon team got up nice and early and headed to registration to meet the groggy eyed Jib Academy participants.

Wanna know the hilarious thing? Well the chair over the park ended up being closed due to 100km winds. But really, who needs a chair? The Academy is tough, so everyone started hiking to slay rails and the jumps! It was like Salomon’s own private park!

There were sweet tunes, Guyaume on the mic, photographers everywhere and Quebec’s finest in da house.

After a lovely Salomon lunch the Academy got down to business and turned it up a few notches so that the Jib Academy and Salomon coaches could vote for their favourite skiers of the day.

And the favourites happened to be;

#1 Antoine Bourassa

(Going to Mammoth with the Salomon International Pro Team and Jib Academy winners from around the World)

#2 Alex Beaulieu-Marchand

#3 Sebastien Eaves

#4 Max Morello

#5 Sascha Cavallero

#6 Gabriel Boudreault
