Company history

Native from Beaupré, Québec, Ferreol saw the light of day for the first time in 2019. Founder by three ski and outdoor enthousiast, it was created with a simple purpose: conceive and manufacture more versatile and eco-friendly skis, for the people here and over seas.

The founders

It's during their college engineering classes that the three founders discovered themselves to have similar passions for not only skis, but creative thinking. When talking about their accomplishments, all of them had made a project related to sking somehow, Étienne with a ski press, Félix with a ski lift and Jonathan with a snow cannon! With a commun interest, and complimentary strenghts, they decided to bond together and start the company that is now Ferreol.

Director of Operations

Jonathan Audet

High-level skier and Québec slopestyle champion in 2014, Jonathan is a ski adepdt since his youndest days. Working in the ski industry since 2012, he has a good smell for business opportunities.

With a strong baggage in the ski market and a very careful listener when it comes to the needs in the industry, Jonathan is the one responsible for the specs and materials used for the ski conception. He is also responsible for most of the sales.

Etienne Boucher

Serial creator, self-taught and highly interested with new technologies, Etienne has carried out numerous projects since his youngest age. Going through the design and manufacture of a 3D printer, the coiling of carbon fibers and a mini-roller, Etienne is the man behind the technologies that Ferreol uses for the prototyping of its alpine skis.

With his design and manufacturing skills, Etienne is responsible for designing and manufacturing all the machines that are used for prototyping at Ferreol.
