Started skiing in Switzerland when he was 12. After moving to Mallorca where there was no snow, his father agreed to send him to Colorado (USA) for three months. "I went there and progressed a lot, and the team there asked me if I wanted to come back and do a sports study program at the high school. I was 15, so that was a hard decision. I was pretty young to go to the U.S. for a year alone. But I progressed so much that year in Colorado. When I came back, I went and moved to Andorra." (downdays.eu)
