In 2006, he finished 11th at the Olympics and later in the world cup season became the youngest athlete in history to win a World Cup moguls event. In the 2005-06 overall World Cup standings he managed to finish second and won the FIS rookie of the year title.

In February 2009, he won four straight World Cup events and was part of two Canadian sweeps of the men's podium in moguls.

At the 2009 Freestyle World Championships he finished eighth in the moguls event and followed that by winning gold in the dual moguls.
