A skier from the age of three, Seb Michaud first became involved in freestyle skiing and was a member of the French team for five years. He then moved on to freeskiing and, in 1997, joined the Scott and Sun Valley international team. He entered a series of competitions and won his first competition in Chamonix, the Red Bull Snowthrill, on the slopes of Le Brévent. Famous for his backflips from rocky ridges and ledges, he lives in La Clusaz and is one of the 12 riders selected for the Freeride World Tour.
Bruno Compagnet “
Things really took off for me in 1994, when I took part in and won the first Freeriding competition in Europe, after which I became the first Frenchman to go over and challenge the Americans in Alaska. Since then, my life has revolved around skiing, travelling all over the world from Alaska to Kamchatka.”
Bruno has always kept his simple and open character, full of enthusiasm, and an unwavering passion for skiing.
Christophe Dumarest
The new generation of mountaineering – fast, technical and aesthetic. At the age of 33, among his exploits: the opening in winter on the north face of the Grandes Jorasses (six days) and crossing the eight northern slopes of the Massif des Écrins in 12 days with his friend and climbing partner, Aymeric Clouet. Motivated and spurred on by the search for new routes as well as by human relations, Christophe puts all his energy and drive into high-level mountaineering.
