The Blueberries

Crazy snow enthusiasts!

The Blueberries crew was created in 2018 by four ski enthusiasts, Antoine, Christopher, Raphael and William. Their main objective: To promote the potential of off-piste terrain in the Saguenay. Indeed, we often refer to Western Canada when it's time to talk about skiing, but why not put Eastern Canada in the forefront? To date, they have produced five movies in Quebec: UNO, DOS, SOURCE, AHOUH and AHOUH 2.

The team, now consisting of 8 members including cameraman, photographer and additional riders, scours the area for the best skiable snow. There is nothing like the feeling of riding down a mountain full of virgin snow. This quest now occupies the majority of each member's free time and for them, this is happiness!

Raph works as a firefighter for the city of Saguenay for several years now. One can understand that he knows a lot about action and adrenaline. He comes from a family of well-known skiers in the region, especially because his father is one of the founding members of the Valinouët ski school.

We can say that within the group Raph is perceived as a father. He is the icon of freestyle skiing in Saguenay and a reference of wisdom for all. It seems that he taught Antoine how to do his first rail, many years ago.

Will is the perfect example of a ski-bum. He has traveled and skied the Canadian West from top to bottom in order to discover new landscapes. He touches people's hearts with his joy of living and his enthusiasm for partying. You can tell he doesn't fit the mold when you see him in his camper, his year-round home.

His role on the team is largely management oriented. He is the one who prepares the winter schedule and plans the outings. In addition, he is involved in the creative aspect of the films. In short, without Will the Bleuets would not be what they are today.

Antoine alternates between the restaurant business and his field of study, kinesiology. According to legend, he is the reference person to get the best Negroni in town. He has demonstrated his skills as a skier at the competitive level in the region and through his involvement in the urban ski community.

He is the "rookie" of the team, making him the perfect candidate to test the dangerous terrain first. It's the law of the jungle, being the youngest, he has to prove himself. He also contributes with his positivism in the group and according to him, fun and happiness must remain the main idea in what they do.
