Free Ski

Annick Ramp

Aline Bot trains a modernized form of ski ballet, which she calls Free Ski. Ski ballet was popular in the 1970s–90s, was an Olympic sport in 1988 and 1992, and is considered the origin of all freestyle sports. Bot wants to bring this once-vanished sport back to the slopes in a contemporary way.
