Elliot started skiing on the Mont Sutton slopes with his parents when he was 3 years old. He was already a daredevil at that age and loved to ski in the glades and to perform small jumps on the side of the slopes. For the first time at the age of 7, he gets a taste of freestyle skiing in Mont Ste-Anne where his parents enrol him in François Viel’s group. He can be recognized on the slopes by the small flame on his helmet that he has worn since he was very young.

Elliot is particularly proud of his results of the 2016–2017 season on the Nor-Am circuit; he finished eighth overall. He also landed a double backflip at Winsport, which he found rather “cool!”

When he is not training or competing, Elliot studies or spends time with his friends. In summer, he enjoys mountain biking in Mont Ste-Anne.
