ABOUT ME: I love life, nature and mountains and I’ve been skiing since I can remember. In summer I’m out downhill biking and rock climbing, in winter my great passion is freeriding.
In winter 2009/10, I went with five other European freeride girls on a road trip through the Alps. Our journey has been captured on camera and the first Girls ski movie of the Alps “As we are” came out… It has been a great success and my goal is to inspire especially the girls to take up the freeride sport, to motivate them going out and having fun!!”
FILMS: AS WE ARE ? a girls ski movie
