“I’m a passionate outdoor person. Trail running and skiing have always been at the top of my sports list, though every reason to go outside is a good reason! I’m particularly passionate about ultra-trail; long distance ultra-running has been a passion of mine for more than 20 years. I would call myself an early adopter in the sport and I still like to compete a few times each year in official races. In skiing, both alpine and snowboarding have been my main focus areas, but I’ve recently turned my attention to Nordic skiing as a great training exercise.”
