film, "The Grand Bizarre." If that doesn't conjure up a ski god then we don't know what does.Simon recently chatted with Powder Magazine about his overload of projects and how he handles all the madness.
Looks like he's got it all under control to us.

At 25 years old, Simon Dumont has been on top of the professional field for the better half of a decade. As one of the faces of the newly-created U.S. Freeskiing halfpipe team, Dumont will soon be representing not only his sponsors but the US of A. And Dumont doesn't appear to be slowing down. With a custom-tailored "Cubed Pipe" at his disposal last winter and a segment in Poor Boyz Productions' upcoming film, The Grand Bizarre (film trailer above), Dumont remains a force to be reckoned with.
POWDER.COM: How much time did you spend filming with Poor Boyz this year?
SIMON DUMONT: This year was a little bit different than most years, because of all the contests. I was at Keystone for one day, and then I did the cubed shoot. I didn't shoot as much as I usually do.
Was the Keystone shoot park or pipe based? We shredded some park jumps, some rails, and some other stuff. I think it was a weeklong shoot, but I had just come back from a contest. I got one day in.
With the creation of the U.S. Freeskiing halfpipe team, will your time from now on be dedicated to competing and training for the Olympics? Well, no. There is still quite some time before the actual Olympics. Next year, I plan on really putting out a good segment. I want to focus on the slopestyle side of this a little bit more, just because once we do get closer to the Olympics, I'm going to be focusing on competing. Next year should be a good filming year for me.
