Di seguito la sua bio tratta dal sito Arcteryx:

Current Residence: Servoz, Chamonix valley, France
 Rémy is a professional mountain guide, based in Chamonix, France.
He has a 24 years' guiding experience world-wide.
He did his first extreme skiing descent on the Aiguille Verte 4121 m (Mt Blanc range) in 1982.
Since then he achieves more than 500 extreme descents, including 63 first descents in the Alps, High-Atlas, Lyngen Alps (Norway), Himalayas & Andes.
He is among the very few guides who take clients on extreme slopes (including 12 first descents).
His aim is to continue exploring & skiing in the Himalayas & Andes.
Where usually mountaineers climb with two ice axes, crampons & ropes: he is skiing slopes between 50° & 55°.
Extreme skiing is one of the purest ways of climbing mountains.
Ethical, innovation, engagement, precision, risk assessment, risk management linked to a meticulous preparation are compulsory to be successful.
Fabulous way of travel in the mountains, this way of climbing & skiing is strongly ethical: no helicopter for the climb, light alpine technique in the Andes & Himalayas. Fast & light is the guarantee of safety.
It's also a fantastic path to discover new routes to ski in wild & insulated places in the world, even in the Alps.
