Vincent Gagnier
Vincent Gagnier, born July 21, 1993, in Victoriaville, Quebec, is a Canadian freeskier renowned for his performances in Big Air and slopestyle. After securing several silver medals on major circuits, he claimed gold in Big Air at the 2015 Aspen X Games—a remarkable feat considering he was coming back from a vertebra fracture just months earlier. Vincent is celebrated for his unique style and inventive tricks, such as his famous “Venom,” drawing inspiration from rollerblading and skateboarding. He also achieved a World Cup Big Air victory in Boston in 2016. Coming from a prominent Quebec freestyle skiing family, with his brothers Antoine and Charles also champions, he represents a generation of riders who place creativity and originality at the core of their skiing.
