BIO
I first started skiing when I was 3 years old. I also did some ski racing later on and discovered Freeskiing at the age of 13. For a couple of years I’ve been competing and skiing in the Park and when I was around 18 years old , I moved out of the park and into the backcountry/freeride skiing and filming!!
Till today I am still addicted, addicted to snow, addicted to skiing. Every day with snow is a day in paradise for me. Skiing is my life and passion and I am thankful for every moment I spend on the mountains. For me, skiing and sharing these moments with my friends is pure satisfaction, luck, freedom.
