ROMAIN DELATTRE
Romain lives in the Pyrenees Ariégeoises not far from Ax-les-Thermes. He started Telemark in 2008 on Ax's tracks, at the same time as his sister Caroline. From the first descents and these new sensations of sliding, he immediately caught the virus.
Member of the Fent'astik Pyrénées Telemark team, this association promotes the practice of Telemark through their beloved Pyrenean mountains and beyond.
With the Meidjo 2.1, they hope to develop the free heel community to share these unique sensations with as many people as possible.
