A 2003 Radio Canada interview describes her as "A tiny energy ball shaking up the Canadian Alpine Ski Team. Impatient, hyperactive, Émilie Desforges made her world debut in front of her parents on Saturday in the second run of Lake Louise." At this event (the 2003 FIS World Cup in Lake Louise), she finished 54th in the downhill event.[2]
Since retiring from skiing, she returned to school at the Universite de Montreal from 2010-2014, earning a diploma in nursing sciences. After graduation, she participates in clinical research studies.[3]
