Jean-Stéphane, with 35 seasons under his belt, discovered skiing through his family. His path to becoming a ski instructor began at the age of 10, when he spent two years in a club, then alternated between skiing and snowboarding with friends. He then took the plunge into competitive snowboarding, before training to become a ski instructor.

He teaches downhill skiing, and his favourite slope is Jean Blanc. Alongside his career, Jean-Stéphane runs a management and team-building consultancy and training company. Passionate about philosophy, he also enjoys swimming, walking, travelling and spending time with his family.
