BIO
Roman grew up in Zillertal, Austria. Since the age of two he is on skis. He took part in national and international alpine races, till he was 15 years old. Then he recognized, that it makes much more fun to ski offpist, than skiing in tight races suits on icy slopes. The first couple of years Roman compete on the Feeeride Rookie Tour all over in euro land.
But soon he was over it and focused on skiing in good powder conditions, in front of Filmmakers and Photographers. Over the last few years he was shooting with big movie crews like Warren Miller and Nimbus Independent from USA. Also with Euro crews like JOB, Whiteroom productions and BMW.tv.
Roman is traveling a lot, but is always glad to be back home to see his family, friends and enjoy mother-nature. He loves to be out there. In summer he is on his bike, surfboard, climbing or hunting. In Winter in the powder, with Skis or the powdersurfe called ÄSMO.
