Fédération Québécoise de Ski Acrobatique

What Fédération Québécoise de Ski Acrobatique does

Ski Acro Québec (Fédération Québécoise de Ski Acrobatique) is a Quebec-based non-profit sports federation headquartered in Montréal that serves as the official provincial governing body for freestyle skiing disciplines — bosses (moguls), sauts (aerials), and slopestyle. The federation coordinates competition pathways, athlete development programs, and governance functions for athletes, coaches, judges, officials, volunteers, and affiliated ski clubs across all age categories from U12 through senior, and is directly affiliated with the national body Freestyle Canada and the international federation FIS.

Its core offering is mandatory membership registration, which bundles permits, insurance, and event access for individuals and clubs in Quebec. Around this membership backbone the federation operates an LTAD-aligned (Long-Term Athlete Development) athlete pipeline: grassroots entry via the SkiAcrobatz introductory program and sport-études academic-athletic integration, mid-funnel progression through affiliated ski clubs and regional competitions, and elite development via three provincial team programs under the Équipe Québec brand (Équipe de bosses, Équipe de sauts, Équipe de slopestyle), supported by coach certification, judge training, and athlete classification systems. Competition events are hosted across a network of Quebec ski resorts including Mont Sainte-Anne, Stoneham, Le Relais, Bromont, Mont Gabriel, Orford, and Saint-Sauveur.

The business model is a non-profit membership-and-sponsorship structure. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but revenue mechanics combine mandatory individual and club membership fees, government grants (Gouvernement du Québec is a visible institutional partner), corporate sponsorships (notably Orage as Official Outdoor Clothing Partner from December 2025, plus Oberson, Idéal Cargo, ESQL, and CDESL), and donations. The federation employs approximately 20 staff, operates without disclosed external venture or growth-equity capital, and has no subsidiaries or M&A activity on record. Leadership is anchored by Directrice générale Sophie Lafrance.
