I’ve been skiing for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the heart of the Alps - between mountains and lakes -  there was no way around it. And I’m still grateful every single day that it turned out that way.

My love for freeriding and backcountry skiing grew naturally from my years as an alpine ski racer, ski instructor, and later as a coach working with elite athletes. Over time, skiing became more than a sport - it became my way of life. It’s taken me to incredible places on six continents, shared with amazing athletes, friends, and film crews. I love diving into new adventures and cultures - and even more, I love sharing those moments with others.

As a state-certified ski guide and licensed travel agency, I can design, host, and guide both B2B and B2C experiences -  from brand events to my own #shadesofwinter ski camps.

I’m proud of the nominations and awards I’ve received over the years for my performances in ski films. But what matters more to me is the connection - with my friends and partners, the people I ski with, and the stories we create together. My partnerships are built on shared values, mutual respect, and a genuine love for skiing and the outdoors.

Back in 2009, I wanted to give female athletes a voice and produced the first-ever all-women ski movie.
It was a bold step but it felt natural. That moment led me straight into filmmaking, and I discovered a whole new side of creativity.

Since then, I’ve taken on the double role of filmmaker and athlete many times.
I love being in front of the camera, but I’m just as passionate about everything that happens behind it - developing stories, building teams, and bringing projects to life.

What started as one small idea has grown into #shadesofwinter - one of the leading freeski film platforms today, built on strong partnerships and lifelong friendships with athletes like Julia Mancuso, Viktoria Rebensburg, Janina Kuzma, Carissa Moore, Nadine Wallner, and many more.

Under the #shadesofwinter name, I’ve produced and directed several action sports films in collaboration with Red Bull Media House.
I’ve led productions in Alaska, Canada, Hawaii, Scandinavia, Japan, South America, New Zealand, and across the Alps.

Alongside the award-winning #shadesofwinter films, I’ve produced and directed two documentary films for ServusTV’s renowned Bergwelten format and am currently working on a new mountain documentary.

At the moment - for already the fourth year in a row -  I’m also leading the Ski Action Unit for the successful TV series School of Champions, a major co-production of Superfilm for ORF and BR, where I’m responsible for all ski action scenes. 

In addition, I’m producing and hosting the YouTube series #SkiGastein Connects for the Gastein ski resort, featuring guests such as Olympic champion Julia Mancuso, Nordic combined champion Berni Gruber, world champion Nici Schmidhofer, and rising actress Judith Altenberger - and many more inspiring people who share their stories through skiing.

I’ve learned to master my mental skills while skiing highly consequential big-mountain lines - from the Alps to Alaska.
In those moments, staying calm and making the right decisions isn’t optional. It’s what keeps you, your team, and your project safe.

Over the years, I’ve learned to translate those experiences into tools that help me stay focused, centered, and confident - whether I’m leading a film crew, hosting an event, or speaking on stage.
And as skiing has taught me many times: it’s okay to fall, as long as you get back up one more time than you fall.

I hold a master’s degree in Sports Science and High-Performance Training from the University of Salzburg and completed additional certifications as a ski coach and mental coach within the Austrian Network for Sports Psychology (ÖBS). That foundation helps me connect my experiences in sport, filmmaking, and leadership to universal topics like trust, courage, and focus - which I share in my keynote “The Magic of the First Line.”

I also enjoy hosting and moderating events - from press conferences to sports gatherings such as the H-Boat World Championship - where I bring my experience, ease, and genuine curiosity to the stage.
