Max Baillargeon grew up in Quebec, sharpened his claws on all that cold French Canadian steel, recently made the move west and spent last winter taking his lumps in the Whistler backcountry. Kid is on his way. He rides for Billabong, Etnies, Thirtytwo, Salomon, Dragon, I Found Headwear and Radical snowboard shop and is also working his way through college. He’s been lurking in So Cal recently, interning at Billabong, and swung by the TW offices. This is what he had to say.
