About

One village, one mountain, one goal

I was born on 25 February 2009 and grew up in Laterns, a mountain village in the Vorarlberg region of Austria. Where I come from, skiing is never a hobby you pick — it is simply part of everyday life.

About Kevin

Today I race in the youth squad of the Vorarlberg Ski Association and attend the Stams Ski Academy in Tyrol — the school that has produced a large share of the Austrian World Cup team. Classes, strength training and time on snow are interlocked there; the racing season sets my timetable.

My disciplines are slalom, giant slalom and super-G. I am at my strongest where a course turns technical and forgives nothing.
