She began training with Max Henault at age 13 after messaging him on Facebook and getting permission to train on his property. Blouin's training with Henault included practice on trampolines. Prior to the 2018 Pyongchang Olympics, Blouin rented a room and lived at Henault's house full time for two years in order to get enough proper training. She won her first major competition when she won the junior world title in slopestyle in 2013, at the age of 16.

Blouin wrapped up her 2016–17 season with a slopestyle victory at a World Snowboard Tour event, the Grandvalira Total Fight, in Andorra. Blouin was an entrant at the

Blouin also fell on her first run but completed a clean second run. On her third and final jump, she only tried a cap single cab underflip instead of a double.
