More information:
Skiing has been a passion for me as long as I remember and doing things on telemark skis is now my profession. When I’m not on the mountain, my family, training, clothes designing and climbing keeps me busy.
Last season was a great season for me. I got to ski as much as I could possibly dream of and did my best results in competitions ever. I also learned that it was possible to both ski and live the travelling life with two kids.
