We’re kicking off Season 6 of The Next Turn with French slalom specialist Steven Amiez. Now heading into his fourth full year on the World Cup circuit, Steven is analytical, grounded, and quietly determined to make his mark. He talks about the setbacks that shaped him and what drives him—the pursuit of a podium and the rush of seeing green numbers beside his name. Whether this is your first time hearing about Steven Amiez or not (his Wikipedia page is barely three sentences long), you’ll come away impressed by his honesty, his patience, and his love for the sport.
