Each month we’re going behind the scenes with the amazing ambassadors you see frequenting Powster gear on our social media, asking them some burning questions to get a picture of what life like on the professional side of the snow. This month we have ur first every freestyle ski ambassador Thierry Wili! Thierry began competing in 2019 and has already achieved third place on a world cup event. Currently he's overall second in the europacup ranking. Thierry is also a part of the Swiss Freeski Team.

My parents, when I was two years old. Since then I found my number one passion in life.

Probably in Davos and after that in Laax.

Ski-boots, you can’t ski without ski-boots but in worst case you can ski without ski-pants;)

When I landed my first double.
5 - Where are you heading for the new season when it starts?
To the first City Big Air of the season in Chur (Switzerland) I guess.

Just shred with your heart and enjoy the process. Do whatever you like and it will turn out great.

Double Cork 1440 tweaked mute grab. It’s my favourite trick as well.
