ACTIVITIES : freeride skiing

BASE : Val d'Isère

I've been skiing since the age of three, and last year qualified as a sports instructor. My playgrounds are in the Tarentaise area. After a year as a downhill skier, derbies rekindled my taste for mountain skiing. If I could, I'd ski 250 days a year...
