Frédéric Simond: a passion for skiing passed down through the family
A childhood in the Mont Blanc massif, a family of instructors and skis on his feet at three: skiing as an inheritance, then as a profession.
Frédéric Simond was born in Contamines-Montjoie, in the Mont Blanc massif. In a family of ski instructors, the mountains are not a destination: they are everyday life.
He started skiing at three. Competition followed, in skiing and in ski jumping. The information supplied mentions a French ski-jumping championship title and second place in the “Slalom Masters” category. These details remain to be confirmed before final publication.
His father was an instructor in Courchevel. Frédéric joined the ESF to become an instructor and chose Courchevel to teach — a historical reference, with no official link to this website.
For 30 years he has taught ski and snowboard there. His greatest satisfaction has nothing to do with performance: seeing his students enjoy themselves, and parents happy to see their child comfortable on skis.
