"Live your life, Live your dreams, Live with your friends, Live the way you want. Live without regret."
Originally from Combloux, I was born between the mountains with skis on my feet, and skiing has been part of my life ever since I was a little boy. I started out as an Alpine skier, then I was in the French Mogul Ski Team for several years, and I've now been a Ski Instructor and Freerider on the FWT Qualifier for 3 years.
In the mountains, I discovered trail running, which allows me to get away from it all in the summer and stay connected with the mountains. Like road cycling, which allows me to train for my competitions in winter.
I'm also passionate about video and I've been sharing this passion through social networks for a few years now.
DISCOVER HIS PROFILE ON INSTAGRAMI chose freeride because for me it's the best way of expressing myself on skis, a mixture of all the disciplines at the same time. Competition helps me to get out of my comfort zone, but what I love most is riding with friends, discovering new countries and new mountains. It means being able to express myself freely and that's the life I've decided to lead.
My long-term goal is to get on the Freeride World Tour so that one day I can ride alongside the world's best and be part of this big family. My dreams... I have lots of them, the first being to go and ride in Alaska, which for me is the most beautiful mountain in the world. I also dream of one day being able to take part in the UTMB in Chamonix, it's a bit of a crazy adventure that I have in the back of my mind and that I'd like to achieve one day.
I don't necessarily like the term prize list, because for me a prize list is simply the results you achieve on a given day. And that doesn't necessarily prove someone's ability. For me, a prize list means being able to fulfil your dreams and feel free.
All the same, I finished 11th in the European Freeride Ski Championship in the 2022 / 2023 season, an unexpected result after a fine 4th place in Japan. It was certainly one of the best seasons I've ever had in terms of consistency.
Last winter I travelled a lot. I discovered Austria, Slovakia and Japan. But when I was younger I was also lucky enough to visit Sweden, Finland, Italy, Australia and Georgia. In short, the list is long and I still have lots of trips to plan.
I love discovering new cultures and new countries and I hope to be able to tick off lots of new ones in the years to come.
Cairn in 3 words: Authenticity / French / Simple. It's a French brand with a great mentality and quality equipment for different outdoor sports. For me, it's the best there is, with the best value for money.
