The unofficial captain of the Orage team, JP Auclair has managed to remain relevant in a rapidly changing sport for the last 11 years. He is talented, respected and will forever be viewed as a pioneer of the new freeski movement. In the last several years JP has been pushing the personal boundaries and knowledge of this sport by educating himself and those around him of the inherent dangers surrounding big mountain ski. Last year JP spent the better part of a month in AK with a variety of individuals working to become a certified heli guide. He did this not because he wanted to become a heli guide but because he wanted to better understand the environment in which he skis. In addition to being talented, JP is a passionate and knowledgeable individual who when approached can always be counted on to give you a straight answer.
Finish the sentence:
This season I worked particularly hard at trying to have a good time but had the best time working hard.
My closest friends would say I ski a lot. Like really a lot.
If I made my own t-shirt it would read me a book every night, how sweet would that be?! Like a magical t-shirt! It would also do all of my chores and when I would put it on I'd be able to fly. Actually, it's been my dream since I was about nine years old.
Every year I'm asked to fill out these athlete bio's and I like them because… hmmm… well… I'll have to get back to you on that… but I dislike them because I find them intrusive.
If I could change one thing in the ski industry today it would be neat, you know, to have that kind of influence.
My favourite trick on skis would have to be like a super awesome, really cool one. Because it wouldn't make much sense, if my favourite trick would be lame.
Something I do everyday is eat food, I know I do that every day.. ..unless I'm really sick, so sick that I can't even eat food, like if I would have a super bad flu.
Skiing means "the activity, sport, or pastime of traveling on skis".
My personality is like a box of chocolates and this allows me to be like a box of chocolates with people I know and people I don't.
Frustrating things really piss me off.
Sir David Attenborough would be the best person to narrate Tanner's films because… just because.
When I think of summer, I think of Cap Rouge.
When I was 9 years old I dreamed I would have this magical t-shirt that would read and fly and stuff… …kind of random.
Three things I would do if I were the leader of my respective country…
1.Quit.
2.Go to school for woodworking.
3.Build tables.
