Profile In only one season, Charles became the uncontested king of Slopestyle thanks to an impressive series of victories notably with the fabulous double of the X-Games & US Open 2005! Again on the podium at the 2006 X-Games (2nd in the Best Trick contest), and winner of the 2007 US Open Big Air, this young Canadian has rocked the discipline imposing his style all over the globe! Coming from the pure tradition of Quebec Freestylers, Charles truly embodies the new generation of riders, ready to continue the discipline’s evolution. Interview You are the king of Slopestyle: what is it that allows you to dominate this sport? What new tricks and runs are you working on? I always try to have runs that are very different from the others, the most important is to impress, make sure my run is unique, and move beyond the others. Then, I prepare new jumps and rails that have not been seen in competitions before. What will you do this summer to prepare for the new season? It will be good for me to get back into shape for my training in New Zealand. I will do a lot of sports to keep in shape and lots of visualization.
What are your goals and objectives for this winter, new contests ? Tricks? Trips ? Videos ? This winter, I want to perform well on all levels of competition in Slopestyle. I would like also to ski more powder and to film awesome jumps in the backcountry.
Speak to us about your time when you are not skiing: where do you live? Your other passions and hobbies? I live in Trois-Rivières, Quebec with my girlfriend, Mylène, where a rather quiet life is carried out. I play golf, skateboard, and hang out with my boys, Yoda and Baslie. If not in Quebec, I spend some time at Mont Sainte-Anne or the Nicolet Lake.
