CANADA POST
FROM
MESSAGE
This is an incredibly exciting year for
Canada, for the Canadian Freestyle Ski
Association (CFSA) and for Canada Post.
With the eyes of the world on Vancouver in
2010 we all have a chance to show our
common goals of excellence, dedication
and commitment.
As a proud partner of the CFSA and an
Official Supplier to the Games, Canada Post
and its employees will be front and centre
for all the festivities and celebrations this
season will bring.
Last year, the Canada Post Freestyle Team
was once again number one on the FIS
Freestyle circuit. After winning the
prestigious Nations Cup for the past four
years, it's clear that these elite athletes
continue to train smart and work hard in
their drive to make Canadians proud in
2010. This is this same dedication seen on
a daily basis in our employees across the
country; a genuine desire to work harder
and better meet our customers' needs.
Canada Post offers national and local
support for hundreds of charities including
those associated with literacy and our
cause of choice, mental health; good
investments in the communities we live
and work in. We continue to build on our
investment that Canada Post began four
years ago with the CFSA. Canada Post
provides essential funding for the training
activities of more than 2,000 freestyle
skiers in Canada, from beginners in our
Freestyle Frenzy programs, to elite athletes
headed for international podiums.
Now in our fourth year as the title sponsor
of the team, Canada Post remains
committed to each athlete, to this team
and to this dynamic sport. I wish Canada's
Freestyle athletes a golden 2009/2010
season!

FROM
MESSAGE
The Olympic Games are the predominant quest in
an athlete's career. Earning the honour to don the
maple leaf and represent Canada at the Games is
only achieved by a few. Fewer still will create the
path that will lead them to ascend an Olympic
podium or ultimately hear the Canadian anthem
played in tribute to their accomplishment.
Achieving ANY of these things on one's home soil
is the ultimate privilege, honour and experience.
Of the two previous Games hosted in Canada, to
date NO Canadian athlete has ever won Olympic
Gold on home soil. That will change in 2010 – and
Canadian Freestyle athletes are set to make it
happen.
our programming by continuing to generously
support us despite the current challenging
economic climate. Their dedication has created an
environment where our national level athletes
have the support they need to excel in
competition; where coaches have important
resources at their fingertips; and, where local
clubs receive training and infrastructure support
so they can provide first class programming for
young athletes.
As much as the games provide an opportunity for
top athletes to showcase their sport to the world,
more importantly, through success and good
planning, they provide the forum to breathe new
life into the sport, to launch the next generation
propelling them to even greater success. Given
the initiatives we have created through the
collaborative undertakings with our PSO partners,
and programs like the Canada Post Freestyle
Frenzy Series, RBC Jumps & Bumps, and federal
government assistance focused on growth and
capacity, we feel well prepared to find and develop
that next generation.
Ten years ago the 2010 Winter Olympic Games
were just a dream, and just over six years ago they
became a reality. Now we have just over 100 days
until the Olympic flame is ignited on Canadian soil
and the eyes of the world are upon us. During this
time a quiet shift has taken place, a shift in
thinking that was precipitated by an audacious
notion – that Canada COULD lead the world in
winter sports. The Own The Podium project has
created unprecedented focus, clarity, innovation,
commitment and collaboration not seen before in This February in Vancouver, Canada's freestyle
Canadian sport.

MOGULS
LEXICON ON
SINGLE MOGULS
Olympic discipline
DUAL MOGULS
World Championship discipline
Speed, turns and air ... negotiate bumps, or
moguls, at some four moguls per second.
Everyone who skis has had to negotiate
bumps or moguls at some point and knows
how challenging they can be. The incredible
skill, athleticism and courage of the world’s
top mogul skiers makes it look easy, as they
race straight down the fall line at lightning
speeds. The top skiers are covering as many
as four moguls per second!
Head to head action ...
In Dual Moguls, competitors race head-tohead in knock-out rounds. The added
adrenaline of racing side-by-side means skiers
often push themselves beyond their limits,
resulting in either spectacular crashes or
some of the most awesome bump skiing you
will ever see. Results from the Dual Moguls
competitions on the FIS World Cup tour are
combined with Single Moguls results to
determine the overall World Cup Mogul
Champion at the end of each year.
The Course
Length is between 200 and 270 metres with
an average grade of 26 degrees. Moguls are
set approximately 3.5 metres apart. The
course includes two small jumps which are
used as a take-off for aerials.
Judging
Competitors rip down the mogul course and
launch themselves off two jumps on the way
down under scrutiny of a panel of seven
judges. Marks are awarded for the technical
quality of the skier’s turns (50%), the two
aerial manoeuvres (25%) and speed (25%).
While speed is a factor, the fastest skier
across the finish line does not necessarily win.
Competition Format
Qualifying round with a single descent,
followed by a final featuring the top 12 or 16
from the first round. Only scores from the
final run count for final results.
Judging
A panel of seven judges award marks: four
judges score the turns, two judges score the
air (jumps), and one judge scores the speed.
Each judge has five “votes” which can be
allocated between the two skiers according to
the course colour they have skied in (i.e. 5
Blue/0 Red, 4 Blue/1 Red, etc). Those votes
are added up to total of 35 with a majority of
18 being needed to move on to the next
round or win.
Competition Format
Competitions are either:
a) Single run qualification round (as per
single Moguls) to seed the Duals, which
would usually be sixteen pairs of Duals or;
b) Elimination rounds of the entire field of
competitors based on seeding from either the
results of a prior Dual competition or a prior
Single Moguls competition.
LINGO
?
Daffy : Splits — legs are widely spread, one in front,
one behind. Front ski tip up, back ski tip down, with
skis parallel.
?
Iron cross : Ski tips cross as skier remains upright.
Tips drop, but heels are kicked to either side.
?
Spread Eagle/Spread : Starting position for making
snow angels : arms extended and legs split, usually 90
degrees or more to the side.
?
Twister : Skis twist 90 degrees to one side of the
body, while hands and arms may counter the twisting
skis — with core of body remaining upright and facing
down the hill.
?
360 : Upright aerial spin of 360 degrees often called a
helicopter or chopper. 720 = Double helicopter.
?
Mute Grab : 360 with an Iron Cross Back Scratcher in
the middle (often referred to as a “Heli-Mute”).
?
Off-axis : A true flip is one that turns around the
horizontal (zero degree) axis. A true spin is one that
turns around the vertical (90 degree) one. An off-axis
spin or flip is one that deviates from these norms.
?
D Spin : A back flip with an off-axis full twist.
?
Back full : A back flip with a full twist both true to the
‘normal’ axis.
?
Lincoln Loop : Old school turned new school — a
sideways flip.
?
Grab : Any part of the ski or binding that is grabbed by
the hand — there are Tail, Mute, Japan and Toxic grabs
in addition to a whole mess of others, all which add
flavour to the tricks.
?
Rodeo : Backwards initiated off-axis flip
?
Flat Spin : Another off-axis trick, where the skier
looks like they are spinning like a horizontal wheel.
?
Misty : Forward-initiated off-axis flip.
?
Cork 720 : Two rotations as if spinning in a frontal
wheel.
?
Switch : Taking off a jump backwards.
?
Fakie : Landing backwards.

MOGUL STARS
MEN
The Canadians
Canada's male mogul skiers took the world by
storm last season, with Alex Bilodeau, Vincent
Marquis and Pierre-Alexandre Rousseau
sweeping the World Cup podium twice – at Ski
Mt. Gabriel in Quebec and in Are, Sweden –
only the second team to do this in Freestyle
World Cup history. They also took three of the
top four places in the FIS Grand Prix last year.
Bilodeau, the FIS Freestyle World Cup Moguls,
FIS Overall Champion and dual moguls World
Champion was on fire last season, winning an
astounding eight World Cup medals in nine
starts (five of them gold). He is certainly one to
watch in 2010, but he will have competition
from his teammates. Vince Marquis earned a
World Championship bronze medal last year
and finished the season third overall in the
mogul standings for the second straight
season. Pierre-Alexandre Rousseau, team
veteran and 2007 World Champion rounds out
this formidable trio. 'P-A' shows week in and
week out that he is capable of winning, and
that the Olympic podium that's eluded him over
his 14-year national team career is more than
just a possibility. But these three Canadian
hotshots will have to stay on their toes to
remain on top of the Canadian field as the team
has very deep roots.

AERIALS
LEXICON ON
Aerials
Olympic discipline
Aerials is not for the faint of heart.
At the national team level,
competitors hit the jumps, or
'kickers', at speeds of 60+ km/h,
launch themselves some 20
metres in the air and perform up
to three back somersaults with up
to five twists, landing on a steep
landing hill most people would
be nervous just skiing. These
are the most difficult manoeuvres
performed in any 'gymnastic'
sport.
Judging
Competitors must perform two
different jumps consisting of single
or multiple somersaults with or
without twists. Each jump must
vary by one somersault or one
twist. Points are awarded for takeoff (20% of score), form in the air
(50% of score) and landing (30%
of score). Scores of both jumps
are added together for a final
mark.
Competition Format
Competitions usually include a
qualification round and a final
round with one or two jumps in
each. The exact format for each
event is determined by FIS and
the event organizing committee.

Deep and talented – 2009 FIS World Cup Aerial
champion Steve Omischl leads a team that should
continue to threaten the podium each and every
week. Omischl was 2nd at the World
Championships last year and teammate Warren
Shouldice finished 3rd. Kyle Nissen was 4th in the
World Cup standings. These three men, rounded
out with Ryan Blais and last year's FIS Rookie of
the Year, Olivier Rochon, make the Canadians a
team that are tough to beat.

The reigning and three-time World Champion
(2009, 2007 and 2005) Li was second overall in the
FIS women's aerial standings for 2009. She and
her teammates including Mengtao Xu, who placed

overtaken the Aussies as the deepest team on the
World Cup. Li was second at the Olympics in 2006,
and she is definitely one to watch in 2010.

HALFPIPE
Going way back, halfpipes originated from
surfing and then skateboarding when
surfers in California decided that trying to
skate in some huge storm drains might be
a fun thing to do when the waves weren’t
pumping. This eventually evolved into
skate-specific halfpipe so the athletes
could “drop in” (start off on the lip of the
pipe).
Skateboarding moved over to the white
waves when the snowboard was perfected
and the boarders decided they wanted to
bring what they had perfected on concrete
over to the snow. To make a long story
short, the skiers saw the boarders flying
off these frozen sculpted terrain parks and
felt the desire to go higher. And voila! A
new discipline was born.

SKI CROSS
The event was literally made for TV. Ski Cross
made its debut at the X Games when a
bunch of skiers who saw the debut of
Boarder Cross a couple of years earlier said,

turn, means less resistance on the snow

SELECTION 101
OLYMPIC
The Canadian Freestyle Ski Team is able to
nominate 18 athletes across its three
disciplines – aerials, moguls and ski cross – to
compete in the Vancouver 2010 Winter
Olympic Games.
As a result of these events, the selected
athletes are as follows (note that only single
moguls events were considered, as dual mogul
format is not an Olympic discipline):
The remaining 15 spots will be determined by

throughout my career and continue to help me pursue my dreams
I was enrolled in the Nancy Greene alpine ski program as a kid, but
it didn't offer enough excitement for me. Twisting and doing difficult
tricks in the air is more my thing.

that's how my coach Nicolas Fontaine heard about me. When I tried
aerials I was hooked

at an Olympic Games. That's because I didn't qualify in 1998 –
although I was ranked 10th in the world at the time. Then I missed
Salt Lake City in 2002 after I broke my neck in a serious crash the
year before. My bad luck continued for the 2006 Games when I

I was a competitive gymnast before I moved my flips onto snow
I sustained a serious neck injury in the summer of 2002 while
performing at a water ramp show in Lake Placid. That crash was the
greatest hurdle I've ever had to overcome, it changed me forever.
Then this past season I had another serious fall while competing at
Mt. Gabriel, I suffered a concussion, a compression fracture in my
back and bruised ribs, but I came back to finish 3rd at the World
Championships only six weeks later, it was one of my proudest
moments
I always wear a t-shirt that reads “Let the Wookie Win.” I received it
as a get-well gift after I broke my neck in 2002

Member of 2006 Olympic Team, finished 12th
Unfortunately my career has been hampered by a number of knee
injuries. I have torn the ACL in my left knee twice (2004 and 2008),
had reconstructive surgery and worked very hard to make it
stronger and come back to the moguls. Then last season I tore my
right ACL at a competition in Deer Valley. I had surgery on that knee
this past spring and used my time off to finished my Cegep
schooling and rehabilitate. Due to these injuries, I am unable to
compete this season. I will make a final decision about my future
freestyle career in June 2010.

I took gymnastics from an early age and then switched to
trampoline. I had been on the Quebec trampoline team for five
years when I got recruited to Aerials through the Jump 2010
program. Even though I hadn't skied before, I was hooked right from
the start. It's a crazy sport, but I love it!

Bronze medal finish at the Apex NorAm last season
Fortune favors the bold
The works: metal, rap, jazz, lounge, classical, world
depends on the day (usually no country though)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Stay, Across the Universe
Almost anything on Discovery
Drawing, playing piano, studying languages
I have always been an acrobat and was a competitive
trampolinist before switching to aerials. I guess I just love
being upside down.
