Hes the perfect fit, bringing his own brand of creativity as well as business acumen.
I dont know of anyone who can switch from the visionary mindset to a business plan quite like Daniel.
The first time I skied with Daniel was summer shredding in Zermatt five or six years ago.
I had just joined 686 & asked Daniel to shoot some pictures for the announce- ment.
Years later, and were back in Zermatt to shred together & try the new skis.
It feels like a natural fit and Im so thankful and truly happy that hes joining the adventure.

Daniel, Welcome to Simply!
We couldnt be more stoked to see you on the team.
For those who dont know, what are you up to these days?
I dont think any one thing could be truly fulfilling without all the variety life has to offer.
For me, combining my passions has brought me more satisfaction than any one of them could individually.
I think its super important for me to have a job.
How did you meet Laurent?
It feels like Ive known Laurent for ages, or known of him.
Lets get to some product questions when and how was your first shred on Simply skis?
It was last winter that I first tested the Recreation.
But when I made my first turns, I was even more surprised.
In fact, these skis made me question my own understanding of skis and how they perform.
I also like simple designs, so obviously, these hit that spot too.
Whats your thought on the shape of the skis?
Fishtails, what can I say?
I love them, even if they are of no practical benefit.
They just look cool and I feel comfy with them.
The same goes for my clothes, if they dont fit, I feel weird when Im skiing.
Ive always liked asymmetric skis because the look is also important.
But moving away from the design and onto the shape, these skis are a dream.
Whats more, the whole thing is produced in Switzerland.
And lets be honest, it looks sick.
We just dropped the Carver What do you think about it?
The ski is a littlelessplayful than the Recreation, but thats a tradeoff you have to make.
These feel like a performance ski that anyone could ride, and still have some fun too.
And finally, what convinced to you join the Simply adventure?
Laurent is still a great source of inspiration and certainly one of the reasons why I switched to Simply.
I also find it super exciting to be involved in the foundation and development of a new ski company.
Its the perfect fit.
