Joined Supreme in: 2021
I grew up in Italy and started skiing in San Sicario/Cesana.
I have been a sports psychology expert since 2013 and a Federal ski coach (Italian’s 3rd level) since 2012.
My first season as a ski instructor was in 2006, I worked in: San Sicario and moved to France after a few seasons.
I help my clients with their fears about the steepness, danger, and speed on mountain.
My favourite things about skiing are speed and doing freeride.
