JULIEN
VIEL

Julien comes from a skiing family. His grandfather still skis to this day and his father made the national team before him. It's in his blood to be a skier. The passion that runs through his veins is what pushes him to train day after day, run after runs.

 

Julien grew up in Quebec and joined the freestyle ski team at Mont Ste-Anne at the age of 5. Passion, work and perseverance will guide his selection within the Freestyle Canada team.  

 

His focus is unquestionably centered on his performance on the snow but aware of the importance of what happens next, despite the challenge of managing sport and studies at the same time, Julien is pursuing his studies at Laval University and aspires to become a mining engineer at the end of his academic background and his skiing career

 

The ultimate goal for Julien is to become the best skier he can be. He keeps going up the world's rankings every year with the dream of representing Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Livigno.
