Eli Bouchard

Have you heard of Eli Bouchard, yet? Well, listen up and pay attention. At just 8 years old, Eli became the youngest snowboarder to ever land a double backflip, and once he was 10 years old he was stomping double cork 1080s—surely a prodigy in the making. Then, fast forward only seven years more and he is topping out podiums looking down to the snowboarding idols that he was looked up to. In February 2025, Eli, the young Canadian from Quebec City, showed up to the FIS World Cup in Aspen, Colorado and to everyone’s surprise he rode out with the win ahead of the likes of Mark McMorris, Red Gerard, Taiga Hasegawa—the undisputed best, have new competition.
