Quick Fire Questions with Matéo Jeannesson

My best party trick is… “I can eat a supersized McDonald’s meal in about 2 minutes. Does that count?”

The geekiest thing about me is… “I spend time killing dragons and ogres on World of Warcraft with my brother.”

Tell me you’re a snowsports athlete without telling me you’re a snowsports athlete… “I spend a great deal of time training, whether on ski slopes, trampolines or in the gym. And I get to travel round the world a lot!”

A shower thought I had recently… “I wish I’d remembered to buy shower gel at the airport.”

Best dance move… ““Cassez la démarche” – It’s the one immortalised by Samuel Umtiti in the 2018 World Cup.”

When I’m not training or on snow you’ll find me… “Blasting my £40 amp with my cheap Chinese electric guitar.”

Guilty pleasure… “I enjoy the Weeknd and Ed Sheeran.”

Best travel story… “Climbing up the volcano Stomboli at night to see the lava flows.”

Biggest fail… “Missed my train in Geneva on the way back from Deer Valley which got me in a real travel mess.”

Typical Sunday… “Improving my mogul turns.”

Weirdest gift I’ve given or received… “I got given a pair of Bernie Sanders style mittens!”

Two truths and a lie… “I used to live on a sailing boat, I can speak Chinese a bit, my grandfather used to be a parachutist.”

I won’t shut up about… “How Slipknot is actually good music.”

The pandemic has taught me… “What soap is.”
