Éliot

GRONDIN

Rider Bio

At the age of 4 Eliot started snowboarding with the aim to imitate his idol Shaun White after watching his performance at the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics in Snowboard Halfpipe. Channeling the technical aspects of halfpipe riding from his idol, Eliot looked to take this inspiration to the Snowboardcross course. His performance highlights include a 7th at the World Junior Championships in Czech Republic and qualifying for the World Cup circuit at the age of 15. Hobbies outside of snowboarding include mountain biking, bmx, and skateboarding. Eliot is on target for another outstanding season with goals to make the finals in the 2018 FIS World Junior Championships, nab a top 3 spot on the overall NorAm tour ranking, and to qualify for another World Cup event.
