Elliot started skiing on Mont Sutton’s slopes at just five years old, quickly developing a reputation as an intense and driven athlete. Over the years, he channeled that intensity to climb the ranks in mogul skiing, eventually reaching the World Cup podium.

Originally from Drummondville, Quebec, Elliot became Junior World Champion in 2019, claimed the NorAm title in 2020, and marked a major achievement last season (2023–24) with two World Cup podium finishes.

Beyond skiing, Elliot is pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering at Université Laval, where he values the balance between sport and academics. “Whether my day on the slopes is good or bad, coming back to our hotel and jumping in my school books always bring me back to a neutral head space. This is vital for me,” he says. In the off-season, Elliot also enjoys mountain and road biking.

Known for his signature “flame helmet”, Elliot, now 25, continues to wear it proudly and plans to keep it until the end of his career.
