V<\/span>ivian Bruchez does not consider himself an extreme skier, just someone who skis steep slopes. A distinction that most of us will struggle to grasp, given the impossible-looking nature of some of the faces he has skied. The Chamonix-based skier\u2019s great strength is his eye for a line.<\/p>\n

After coming to the public\u2019s attention in 2013 via S\u00e9bastien Montaz Rosset\u2019s now classic film Downside Up (T\u2019es pas bien l\u00e0?), Bruchez is a worthy successor to Anselme Baud and Pierre Tardivel. He continues to ski new lines, often resorting to \u201cdry skiing\u201d to link snow slopes separated by rock: to \u201cdo a Vivian Bruchez\u201d has become common parlance for scraping your edges over rock.<\/p>\n

Bruchez, who earns his living as a guide and instructor at France\u2019s National Ski and Mountaineering School (ENSA), is no antisocial grouch and he is happy to share the bill with other skiers. For example, in March 2021 he skied a major new route on the north face of the Aiguille du Go\u00fbter with Tom Lafaille, who he has taken under his wing. Bruchez also features in Seb Montaz\u2019s new film, Le Diamant des Alpes, and accompanied Paul Bonhomme on five of his 10X Project descents.\u00a0<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ text_font_size=”16px” header_text_color=”#000000″ hover_enabled=”0″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]
