I first met Marco Galliano a few years ago. A mutual friend put us in touch about Alpine snowboarding and we spoke on the phone about what we were doing in the mountains. Since then we’ve travelled and done lots of backcountry races (Alpine snowboarding) together in Italy, France and Switzerland.

Fire has been an important element of the Olympic Games ever since they started. According to the legend in fact, it was the Titan Prometheus (he who reflects first) who stole fire from the gods and gave it to man.
