11 questions to Zoé

Advice you’d give your younger self

Never give up.

Something on your bucket list

Going on the world tour in freeride skiing and win it one day.

Your favorite mountain

La Clusaz, France. I've been skiing there since I was a little girl.

Your favorite mountain snack

A little sandwich in my pocket that I can eat 20 minutes before setting off again on the slopes.

What you wanted to be when you grew up

I'd like to continue my medical studies and end up as a surgeon. But for now I'm focusing on skiing.

Other hobbies and interests

Road biking, running and side swimming – I'm going to start doing triathlons in the summer. Studying medicine.

A moment you’ll never forget

2 years ago I had a bad experience during my 2nd year in Austria for the world championships. 1 year later, in 2023, I won the Junior Freeride World Championships – my childhood dream.

What you love most about freeride

I love this connection with nature, skiing when almost no one is around, having this freedom of expression, going downhill and jumping wherever I want.

Something you learned from sports

Never give up at the first hurdle.

Something you’d like to learn

Taking my ski instructor diploma.

Something you’re often asked – and the answer

How can you have never lived in Haute Savoie, near a resort, and still be talented?

Thanks to my parents, who went out of their way to fly back and forth between Lyon and La Clusaz every weekend for me to train.
