Best memorable session:
A day during the 2010 winter in Vaujany, looking for some idea of spot to shoot with Laurent Salino. It was a bad weather day and most of the resort was closed. Then too friends meet us and as if it was waiting for the crew, sky opened. Then, is was one my best skiing and shooting time of my life, deep snow, perfect lines, amazing shoots !

Best trip up until now:
During the dry 2011 winter. It was no snow anywhere, and some of my friends called me from the little place call Queyras, I never was there before, so I moved, just to discover.
It was a nice 30cm of powder, no one track for 2 weeks, and many faces to ride, all alone.
I moved there again the next week, and now, Queyras is one of the ideal place for ski touring to me !

Backround in skiing:  
J’ai commence le ski assez tard puisque j’avais 8 ans, mais c’est immédiatement devenu ma priorité ! 10 ans dans un petit club, un père passionné, pas mal de temps passé en montagne, j’ai attaqué la rando à 13 ans, c’était un mois de Juillet au Galibier ! J’ai toujours pas arrêté depuis, toujours avec autant de plaisir à être en montagne.

Goals in skiing:
My only aim is to keep skiing and making nice pictures, all about pleasure !
