"The 'adrenaline was my engine for many years, but now it no longer is. Especially when I became a father (nell''ottobre 2014, editor's note). Quell''adrenalina that pushed me to take all the risks you are transformed into maturity. the fall of Bischofshofen of January 2015 has made me think a lot, especially about the relationship with my family.

But since I fell, and I changed the telemark, every day I have to convince me to be able to reach the limit and I have to find the courage to go to the pole base.
