STRONG
Strength means following through. Finishing a film when the timeline gets tight, standing by an idea that feels risky, or leading a team through long days. It’s also knowing when to ask for help. That balance of drive and teamwork keeps me going - in projects, in the mountains, in life.
AUTHENTIC
What you see is what you get. I’ve never been good at pretending - and I don’t want to be. Whether I’m skiing, producing, or speaking on stage, I try to stay honest and real. Authenticity connects people - in a crew, at my #shadesofwinter camp, or in front of a camera.
NATURAL
I feel at home in nature - it’s where most of my ideas start. The mountains around Gastein are not just my workplace, they’re my grounding place. Being outside gives me perspective and energy — and reminds me that simple usually works best.
DETERMINED
When I believe in something, I’ll find a way to make it happen - even if the path isn’t clear at first. That’s how #shadesofwinter films, camps, and events have grown. It’s not about perfection; it’s about progress - and making ideas real.
RADIANT
Good energy is contagious. I love seeing people light up when they try something new - skiing their first line, trusting the group, or laughing after a long day. That’s what I aim for with my #shadesofwinter camps & films, and my keynote “The Magic of the First Line.” When we lift each other up, everyone shines a bit brighter.
ADVENTUROUS
Adventure keeps me curious.It doesn’t always mean a big expedition - sometimes it’s trying a new sport, starting a new project, or saying yes before I know all the answers. That’s how most of what I do began - by following excitement and trusting it would lead somewhere good.
