Grégoire, from Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, grew up on the slopes of south-western France, at the ski club where he trained every weekend and during the holidays.

A dedicated snow sports enthusiast, he also competed in alpine snowboarding, achieving a 5th-place finish in the junior category and 34th nationally at the French Championships in the Haute-Alps.

For 22 years, he has been teaching downhill skiing, snowboarding, ski touring and snowshoeing in French, English and Spanish.

After 15 years in beekeeping, he now runs his own apartment renovation business. Off the slopes, Grégoire enjoys exploring the outdoors, spending quality time with his daughters, and pursuing adventures such as canyoning and hiking.
