Maude Richon

Nickname: Lulu or Maudasse
Country: Switzerland
Resort: Thyon-Les Collons in Wallis
Riding Since: 1997
Job: Journalist on the radio
Hobbies: All sports in relation to the mountains! Snowboarding, climbing, trekking… When I have time I go swimming or playing badminton with a friend. So I move all the day! And during the night… ? dancing and drinking as well. 
My spirit: For me, life is short. I want to be happy when I’m 80 years old. (If I’m still here for sure!!) So I want to make all that I can make in my life, for my family, my friends or other people who count for me. For example at the moment, I try to organise freestyle events for girls because there aren’t many things for them (check out the Nikita Goodie Lady Session). It’s important to try to make things happen while it’s still possible. 
My dream: That women’s freestyle becomes as important as men’s freestyle. I dream of travelling around the world, too.
Why is snowboarding so important to you: Because snowboarding makes me free. When I’m riding, it’s the only moment when I can forget the problems.
