PARKS BOUTILLIER

FREESKI

Parks is a 17-year-old freeskier from Rossland BC. He had a special connection with Kenneth being one of his coaches on the RED Mtn. Freeski Academy and someone he really looked up to. Parks mentioned Kenneth was one of his biggest mentors and absolutely loved skiing with him on training days. Parks is one of the nicest guys you’ll find on the mountain; always fired up with a big smile on his face and sends it pretty big if I say so myself. He competes in the IFSA freeride competitions across Western Canada and qualified for the NorAms in 2020. Parks will be starting his schooling to be an electrician this winter in Nelson BC. He is ready and stoked for a big winter ahead!
