Skiing since before he can remember, Jules has grown up loving every moment he could spend in the snow. Eventually becoming a world cup-level biathlete, he participated in the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing before taking a step back from competition after five years of full-time engagement. Coaches would sometimes be annoyed by the low quality of his equipment or his limited interest in traveling further than necessary for training or camps, but it reflected, in a way, his pride to be able to do a lot with not much.

Continuing to self-repair his ski poles, suits, and boots, proudly sponsored by Communauto, he did what he could to maintain a minimalist approach up until his last world cup start. Now studying Physical Education at Sherbrooke University, he aspires to pursue a career where he can share his passion for the outdoors and nature, making it as accessible as it can be.
