iLiKeShiFTieZHas anyone else noticed the amount of talent that has come out of Quebec? It just seems like everyone there slays, like people of all ages. Crazy French motherfuckers.
Mr.BishopIts the poutine.
Seriously though, the only crying shame is that a lot of them don't get nearly the respect or support they deserve.

CraigskisQuebec puts more funding into their athletes through their provincial programs. Culturally Quebecers usually make up the majority given of any Olympic sport. The proof is in the pudding.

VinnieFI blame their cheap schooling so you can afford to go to school and ski all winter.
L.U.P.E.Its because people outside of the USA teach their kids work ethic.
I love linking up with all the homies from Canada to hit rails and film, some of the most motivated skiers I have ever met!!

TurkeltonLol, Try getting respect as a Euro, so many kids here are so much better than kids who are basically pros in Canada and the USA and barely have support. Luca Schuler was on the pro form Head team till Sochi came around.
iLiKeShiFTieZso many more. just watching edits of kids out of quebec on here is crazy, they all rip
MousseauNot only talented skiers, but talented producers & photographers as well!
MPapaniaI can't believe no one mentioned henrik harlaut!
perryhunterYeah right! There are lots of talented people from Quebec, I don't know what's with their place.
VinnieFThe main reason is they have the best funding for sports programs in Canada and probably close to the best funding in the world. So really you can thank Alberta for quebec's success in sports. Also that putting your kids in hockey since they can walk is far more part of their culture than anywhere else, partly thanks to our being far more affordable.
There are always reasons!
And let's not forget for asking that Quebec probably has the highest hills to people radio in the country with no doubt 90% of the population living within 30 minutes of a ski hill. Maybe BC is a bit better. Part of the reason for this is the huge subsidies for electricity ski hills get in qc allowing even the smallest to survive.
And many more reasons.
