Freeskiing was a lot different back in the year 2000.
But where others saw little potential, they saw an opportunity - especially in Quebec.
In turn, D-Structure cemented itself as one of the first core shops to fully embrace the movement.
Beyond his skiing and work with D-Structure, Belanger has had a major impact on the sport.
Take Jacob Belanger, for example.
To him, its all about the bigger picture - pushing freeskiing in the right direction.
These athletes have their careers supported by D-Structure because of Belanger’s commitment to freeskiing and the shops history.
The Future
As we know, skiing has changed a lot since the early 2000s.
The sport has become more commercialized, the rise of the internet, social media (and Newschoolers!)
While some worry about freeskiings future, Belanger is optimistic about what lies ahead for the sport.
They remain as one of the few independent shops in the world with their roots deep in freeskiing.
