Industry Praise

Dave Deasley, Preseident, AMER Sports (1994 - 2020)

Over the last 25+ years as President of Amer Sports Canada ( Salomon, Atomic, Wilson and Suunto ) I have worked with many sales representatives across the country. A quality sales representative is critical to the success of your company and the brands they represent. They must have the professionalism and passion to deliver your message to both the customer and more importantly to the consumer. 
Over the last 15+ years I have witnessed this in J.P. Mcleod. His dedication to the business, to the customer and the consumer is second to none. J.P. is exactly what you look for in a sales agent to drive your brand and sales in the area. He is a true professional managing the business and building the brand in a first class manner. He understands what it takes to elevate the brand in both the customer and consumer’s eyes. 
I would highly recommend J.P. to represent your company to develop the brand and sales in this region. 

Ross Hooker, Western Canadian Sales Manger, Salomon (1996 - 2020)

For the last 16 years, J.P. has been instrumental in the success of Salomon Footwear & Apparel in British Columbia. Throughout my tenure, he proved himself to be a true sales professional possessing not only first-class presentation skills and market knowledge, but also the capability of developing solid relationships, trust, and loyalty within our dealer network. J.P. would be a tremendous asset to any brand that fits the scope of his agency.

Anne-Marie Madden

Trail and Road Runner, Vancouver, BC

Salomon

Anne-Marie Madden is a trail and road runner based in Vancouver, BC Canada. She has been running trails since she was a teen. She runs races ranging from 5km on the road to 100km on trail. Her biggest goal for 2022 is tackling the Western States 100 Mile in California in June. This will be her first attempt at the 100 mile distance. Salomon is always at the forefront of innovation and development of sports gear. They have designed a wide range of different shoes tailored for specific types of ground. The gear is comfortable and functional which is key when racing any distance. Most recently, I am thrilled to have won a golden ticket to the 2022 Western States 100 Miler. This race will be challenging for many reasons including the heat, the distance and the deep competitive field. I am very much looking forward to the experience.

Gary Robbins

Trail runner, Chilliwack, BC

Salomon

Now in my 40's my goals are to stay as fit and healthy as possible, to get out into the mountains as often as I can, and to ensure I share and develop that passion and love of the outdoors with my family. Over the years I've raced around the world, and I even won a few and set some course records too. Surprisingly enough I still hold the course record at the HURT 100 mile race in Hawaii, which I set over a decade ago in 2010 and then bettered it again in 2013. Salomon make some of the best gear on the planet, from running, to skiing and I've been honoured to have been supported by the brand now for over ten years. Biggest challenge? Finishing my first ever expedition race in Australia in 2007 at the XPD (750kms) ranks right up there. I guess also finding the motivation to attempt to toe the line at the Barkley for 6 straight years was right up there as well.

She also enjoys skiing, climbing, cycling and most recently bike packing with her husband.

Trail Runner, Vancouver, BC,

Salomon

Brice Ferré has been a Salomon Ambassador since 2015. Over the last decade Brice has run over 25 ultras, from 50 km to 100 miles. Although his idea of fun is 100 km races, “the perfect balance between speed and distance. Not too fast, not too far”. Brice has also co-created the Vancouver based Salomon Trail Lab, a trail running group that runs Saturdays throughout the fall and winter, connecting people from the running community on the beautiful trails of the North Shore. Salomon Trail Lab will be celebrating it’s 10th anniversary at the end of 2025 and Brice could not be more proud of this accomplishment.

Deanne McDoom

Trail Runner, Squamish, BC

Salomon

After completing a number of road marathons, including the Boston Marathon, Deanne picked up trail running in 2013. In her first pair of trail runners, the Speedcross, she quickly jumped into trail races, began participating in weekly trail group runs with the Salomon Toronto store, and soon became a Salomon Brand Ambassador and run leader (2014-2016). In pursuit of adding more trail running and community into her life, she moved from Ontario to the West Coast almost 10 years ago and now resides in Squamish, BC. She has remained connected to the brand over the years—working part-time at the Salomon West Vancouver retail store (2016–2018) and serving as a Salomon Trail Lab group leader (2017–present). She's been on the Salomon Community Ambassador team for almost three years now. When she's not working her full-time job in Human Resources, you can usually find her out in nature—running, hiking, camping, or volunteering at local trail running events. You might even catch her on the mic at some of them!

Louise O'Brien (Stevens)

Trail Runner, Whistler, BC

Salomon

Lou O'Brien (Stevens), originally from Ireland, moved to Canada as very much a non-runner. After a few ill-fated road races led to injuries, she discovered and fell in love with trail running, embracing its literal and figurative ups and downs. In 2017, with the help of a friend, Lou founded We Run Whistler, Whistlers first year-round run club. The club embodies what Lou loves most about running: great trails, tough challenges, and meaningful conversations with like-minded people. Lou's passion for trail running has also taken her into the world of ultra and stage racing, where she explores new and beautiful places around the world then shares her discoveries with her community! Lou considers herself too honest for her own good so is thrilled to be affiliated with Salomon, a brand she truly trusts and personally uses daily.

Maery Kaplan-Hallam

Trail Runner, Squamish, BC

Salomon

I’m a recreational runner fortunate to spend time on the beautiful trails of the Sea to Sky corridor, primarily on the territories of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. I really fell for running - and the run community - during my first trail race in 2019 (RIP Rundle’s Revenge) and have been happily filling my life with a mix of social running, make-your-own-adventure missions, and bits of more intentional training ever since. I’m motivated and humbled by the run communities in Vancouver and Squamish, and get huge joy from being part of the leadership teams for a couple awesome run clubs - East Van Run Crew and Peak Pursuit. Most of my races have been sub-ultras, but I’ve recently dipped my toes into the 50k distance and was surprised by how much I enjoyed the longer effort. I’ve also started exploring some of the entry-level mountaineering adventures the PNW has to offer, a skill set I’m excited to keep building. Salomon gear has been with me from my first steps into the mountains, and it’s a privilege to be part of the ambassador team.
