Jojo: Your passion for skiing came through your father and started with alpine skiing. When did you start backcountry skiing and freeriding and why?
When I was 16 my motivations changed, I craved more freedom, and so I stopped Alpine Skiing and focused on backcountry.
Jojo: Did you also compete in alpine skiing? How was that for you?
Yeah, I did a bit and I loved it. I still love it. It’s so cool and for me my favorite has to be the downhill and speed race. Like the big slalom races, with jumps. I love it so much.
Jojo: Do you prefer freeriding in the resort or backcountry skiing? Or do you prefer alpine skiing over everything?
It’s much of a muchness really for me, I just think of how incredibly lucky I am to be here in Verbie. It’s such an insane spot for riding. Saying that it can get busy, I like it when the mountain is quiet, getting out with good people and being surrounded by friends.
Jojo: Can you snowboard or monoski ski as well?
I’ve tried monoski a bit, but not too much, same for snowboarding, both are cool but for me, it will always be skis.
Jojo: What is your favorite ski resort?
It has to be Verbs for sure. However, there’s also this little resort in Wallis, the Téléconthey – Mayens de Conthey. The terrain in the valleys is just crazy, so I'm very lucky. If I don't go to Wallis I’ll go anywhere I can find good snow.
