Ski, telemark and snowshoe instructor – with Adrenaline for over 20 years
Skiing or snowboarding?
Skiing, without hesitation! But I also have a soft spot for telemark skiing — that elegant and fluid glide that gives a real feeling of freedom.
What led you to become an instructor?
Skiing has been a part of my life since childhood. After teaching in France and the United States, I realized that sharing this passion and seeing people progress on the snow made me truly happy.
Why with Adrenaline?
Because Adrenaline is much more than a school: it's a team of passionate people, a state of mind. For over 15 years, I have found a perfect balance between professionalism, enjoyment and authenticity.
What do you like most about your job?
Sharing the joy of skiing, seeing faces light up as confidence grows. And of course, evolving every day in an exceptional natural environment.
Why Verbier?
Verbier is a paradise for experienced and curious skiers. The diversity of the ski area and the quality of the snow make it a unique place to teach and recharge.
Which piste or off-piste terrain do you love to ski down?
Bruson and La Payanne, without hesitation! These are my little corners of paradise, far from the crowds, where the mountain regains all its purity.
And in the summer, where are you and what are you doing?
In the summer, I return to Normandy, where I am a farmer. Working the land after spending the winter on the snow is a beautiful way to maintain a connection with nature.
What are your passions, and have you pursued any of them competitively?
My main passion remains the mountains in all their forms. No competition for me, just the pleasure of skiing, sharing, and the great outdoors.
What skis do you ride?
All-terrain skis, capable of gripping on groomed slopes as well as floating in powder — ideal for seamlessly transitioning from telemark to freeride.
