A young prodigy from the French ski scene, Tess has enjoyed an uninterrupted wave of success. The French phenomenon became the youngest French athlete to ever participate in a Slopestyle competition at the X-Games at just 15, during which she won the silver medal.

Bouncing off her great start in the competitive world, she became World Champion a year later, in Sierra Nevada and topped the impressive record with two X Games Gold Medals and a new title as the first ever Big Air World Champion. In 2022, she took the silver medal at the Beijing Olympics.

At now 21, Tess boasts an impressive 8 X Games medals and has become a fixture in Big Air internationally.

Q&A WITH TESS:

Favorite place to travel? My favorite place to travel is the USA, because there are some truly great snowparks everywhere over there! However I have yet to achieve one of my goals: to visit to New Zealand. 

Best moment in your career? The best moment of my career was when I won me first gold medal at the XGames in Aspen. I had dealt with a very complicated year  during which skiing unfortunately had to sit in the background, so it was amazing to achieve this.I was really proud of myself. 

Favorite things to do when you’re not riding? Spending time with my family and loved ones!

Fashion essentials? Shoes and handbags of course !

Favorite moment with ROXY? In September 2019, on the the West Coast of France: we did a week with all the ROXY team and it was great. There were surfer girls and winter athletes at the same time so it was really rewarding. Also, it was in the South, it was like a holiday before the season :)
