Speaker of the day: Richard Amacker — Creativity and Innovation

It was at the age of two that he first experienced the sensations of skiing! Richard Amacker, born in Nendaz, spent a lot of time on skis; he obtained second place in the Swiss Alpine Ski Championship in giant slalom at the age of eight.

Subsequently, he spent five years on the FIS circuit and, after obtaining his plasterer's CFC at nineteen, he decided to embark on a new challenge: Freeride.

Richard achieved excellent results in the Freeride World Qualifiers: he was on the podium five times in various events between 2010 and 2011. He also won first place in a Freeride World Tour event, in Courmayeur in 2012.

In parallel, Richard developed his skills and obtained the federal patent for snow sports instructor. Since 2016, he has been a coach for aspiring alpine skiers, an ISTA (International Snow Training Academy) mentor, and a member of the Education Pool Swiss SnowSport.

Between 2012 and 2016, he produced or appeared in five films, including "Persévérance" released in 2016.Languages spoken by the speaker
