Here is a little tidbit for y'all. Philou Poirier has hung up his skis to become the new sports marketing director at Oakley Canada, taking over a position loosely based on that of Seb Paradis, who has left to become a director at Red Bull Canada. Poirier was Oakley's first head to toe athlete, and should make significant contributions in not only skiing, but also mountain biking, several olympic sports.

Don't count him out yet, let's keep in mind that Smiley Nesbitt still skis despite being team manager for Helly Hansen.

nooooooooooooooooooo, man I will miss seeing Philiou skiing. He is so dope, but I'm glad he got such a great job. So, please, philiou comtinue skiing, because everyone will miss your sick style. Congrats on the job, and best of luck to you!

wtf are all you talking about? How did philou 'retire'? First of all he has been in hardly any ski movies the last two years so I dont know how he is going to be in any less now....and second of all just because he has a job doesnt mean he is never going to ski again. Christ I cant believe how dumb all you kiddies are.

sounds like a really sick job and it's good that he took up on that opportunity. His skiing and style will be missed, but it's not like he's disappearing

This is a really refreshing thread! Normally, if someone says something about a pro skier, there'll be at least a few people saying how they suck, or how they've sold out, or how they have lame style.

Good to see that everyone is being really positive about Philou, he deserves it!

Yeah ever since 13 i've liked him...

Remember 'And introducing' and he's doin' all the black hand shit... he's awesome and the backflip over all the food.. He's so sick...
Then 'The Blood Sweat Tears' in The Game.
Then i reckon his best segment in Propaganda.. Yeah he's one sick guy... 'Johnny can you get someone that actually knows how to work an industry please, damn begginners'


And his radness, it just can't be quantified
