• Current Swiss Slalom record holder: Open -3@41” (36mph), +35 -5@41 (34mph)
• Big Dawg Champion (2017)
• +35 World Slalom Champion (2014)

My approach to coaching has always been to empower skiers with techniques that work for them so they can safely reach the level they want to reach. Having Fun and feeling good on the water are the reasons we all ski; performance is mostly a by-product.” – Frederic Halt
