Motivation Song: hard to say, it changes daily 

What does skiing mean to you personally? 

For me, skiing means freedom, self-realization, a deep connection to nature, pure joy and so much more. Most of the time when I’m skiing, I forget about everything else -I am fully present in the moment. 

When did you start skiing and how have you evolved as a skier? 

I started skiing when I was three years old. At first, my parents taught me everything, but later I got into ski racing and joined the Allgäu Ski Association. I loved racing for many years, but at some point, I realized it wasn’t the right path for me anymore.  After graduating from school, I took a trip to Japan and went freeriding for the first time. I loved it. That experience changed everything. After that, I moved to Innsbruck, and freeriding became a huge part of my life. 

Who were/are your idols on and off the hill? 

When it comes to skiing, I never had one specific idol. I have always looked up to many different skiers, especially in freeriding, where everyone has their own unique style.  Off the hill, my biggest idols have always been my parents. I’ve learned so much from them and am incredibly grateful for the life they have given me. 

What do you get up to when you’re not skiing? 

In the summer, I study environmental and civil engineering and enjoy doing a variety of other sports, such as enduro biking, tennis, and windsurfing. In general, I just love spending time with my family and friends. 

Outside of skiing, where do you draw inspiration from? 

I draw inspiration from many different things. Mostly from my friends and family, spending time in nature, being creative, and often from having plenty of me-time. 

What do you like most about SCOTT? 

I love the products, and everyone I’ve met from the SCOTT family has been incredibly supportive and kind.
