The inaugural edition of Légendes du Nord, the VISA FIS Snowboard Alpine World Cup, took place at Val Saint-Côme, Québec, on February 15-16, 2025. Canadian athletes rose to the challenge, delivering strong performances against a tough international field.
On day one, Arnaud Gaudet and Ben Heldman thrilled the local crowd with personal-best finishes, securing 8th and 7th place, respectively. Aurélie Moisan also made waves, earning a personal best with a 10th-place finish.
The momentum carried into day two, where Moisan delivered an even stronger performance, finishing just off the podium in 4th place. Despite commanding the course and overcoming challenging weather conditions, a fall in her final two races cost her a medal finish. However, the crowd roared in appreciation of her resilience and skill. Ben Heldman capped off the event with another top-10 result, placing 10th.
With consistent improvements and breakthrough performances, this young Canadian team is climbing the international ranks and building excitement for the upcoming Olympic season.
