Sebastien Varlet

Sébastien started skiing at five years old in a tiny ski resort close to Lake Geneva on the French side. For 12 years he skied and trained in ski racing all the way to the FIS circuit. Understanding he could not reach the top level in Alpine skiing, he decided to focus on sharing his passion through teaching. Sébastien gradually became more and more attracted to exploring new and steep mountains with challenging terrains. At 22 years old he went skiing in New Zealand and started competing in the Freeride World Qualifier. Today, Sébastien is a passionate Freerider splitting his winter between competing and filming movies during ski trips.

Sébastien has finished top 5 in the European rankings for 3 years, twice placing 4th and once 5th (only the top 3 qualify). Sébastien keeps on trying hard to qualify for the Freeride World Tour alongside sharing good experiences with friends and discovering new places to ski. In 2021, Sébastien holds the 11th place in the European FWQ ranking.
