When Tony first appeared in professional ski films (such as Parental Advisory and Propaganda) skiing professionally may have been the least of viable options to make a living. Skiing full time was unheard of, the twin tip had just burst onto the market, and guys like JP Auclair, JF Cusson, Vincent Dorian, Mike Douglas, and Philou Porier were heros to a select group of North American skiers that were fortunate enough to find copies of the latest Poor Boyz films. As one of the first skiers ever to do a Loop (constructed entirely out of snow) Tony soon progressed from a young canadian handrail skier to a progressive backcountry jumper. Flaunting right and left switch 9's in the back country, to stomping off huge natural features, to slaying cliffs and baller lines, Tony has always accelerated in the deepest of snow in front of the lens.
Nearly 10 years later, Anthony is still at the top of his game, progressing skiing in the way he sees fit, constantly venturing into the mountains in search of another day. For anyone thinking about quitting, giving up, or walking away from their passions, look to Anthony for inspiration. After all, it's 2010, very few individuals have been fortunate enough to keep a job for 10 years, much less hold down a career as a professional athlete, business owner, and artist. In all respects of the word, the man, SLAYS.
