Where are you from?

I’m Italian, from Bardonecchia, the site for snowboarding in the 2006 Winter Olympics, but now I live in France and spend the summers in Spain.

How long have you been riding for?

After trying skateboarding and being fascinated by the feeling, I decided to do something similar in the snow, so at the age of 13 my love for snowboarding began.

How would you describe your riding style?

I have a creative style. I like to ride powder, snowparks, I like jibbing and I like to carve hard, almost touching the ground with my nose!

Your favourite trick?

Half-cab 180 method.

Describe a perfect day on the slopes?

For a perfect day I would need clear sunny skies and a metre of super-soft powder! I would spend the morning riding powder, drop the biggest cliff of my life and later a session in the park practicing new tricks. All this with my riding buddies and finishing up at the pub for a beer.

What do you enjoy about your job?

I like to put myself in my clients’ boots to find the best solutions for them and make sure they learn whilst having fun. I love my workplace and particularly enjoy transferring my passion for snowboarding to you!
