Corvatsch When The Big Air Number Held



The Corvatsch jump sat bright above the Engadin valley, with spring light bouncing off a hard Swiss landing. Kadi Gomis had to carry speed through the inrun, set the takeoff clean, hold the grab, and trust the landing before the scoreboard turned the run into a result.

On April 12, 2025, Gomis won the men’s Freeski Big Air at the Corvatsch European Cup Premium. FIS listed him first ahead of Frank Wahlstrøm of Norway and Rai Kasamura of Japan. For a French skier still building his World Cup standing, that result became the clearest senior marker: not a promise, not a junior note, but a win in a deep international field.



La Clusaz Before The World Cup Bib



Gomis comes from La Clusaz, one of France’s most visible freestyle ski towns. FIS lists him with Club des Sports La Clusaz, and both Faction and BUG Visionaries place his skiing story in the same Haute-Savoie environment. That matters because La Clusaz gives a park skier more than a postal address. It gives access to freestyle culture, local coaching, terrain variety and riders who treat creativity as part of the sport.

His background began in alpine skiing. Faction says he followed a family route first, with a father who competed in alpine skiing at the Olympic Games, before choosing freeskiing. BUG Visionaries tells the same story with a sharper angle: the path was already mapped, but Gomis wanted to follow his own instinct and fly in a different discipline.



Leysin At Seventeen



The first major international reference came at the Lausanne 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games, held in Switzerland. Gomis represented France in boys’ freeski slopestyle and big air at Leysin Park & Pipe. The results were modest: 25th in slopestyle and 22nd in big air, without a final appearance.

Those numbers should still stay in the profile because they fix his starting point against a strong generation. The big air event included Matěj Švancer, Kiernan Fagan, Orest Kovalenko, Hunter Henderson and Luca Harrington, names that later remained visible across the contest scene. Gomis did not arrive as a finished international rider. He arrived as a French teenager inside a field that was already moving fast.



La Clusaz Gave Him The First European Cup Win



February 2023 gave Gomis a home-snow result that still shapes his page. FIS lists him first in the La Clusaz European Cup slopestyle, ahead of Nicola Bolinger and Andreas Herranz. Winning at home adds pressure rather than removing it: familiar terrain, local eyes, French teammates, and no excuse if the run comes apart.

That victory also balanced his profile between slopestyle and big air. Gomis is not only a one-jump skier. His record shows both disciplines across European Cups, World Cups, national championships and Youth Olympic starts. Slopestyle asks for linked rail sections, jump rhythm, switch control and clean exits; big air compresses the risk into one takeoff and one landing.



How Gomis Builds A Freeski Identity



Gomis’ skiing sits between contest structure and creative park style. The FIS record shows formal progression: bibs, qualifiers, cup points, national championships and World Cup starts. The brand and La Clusaz profiles show another side: filming, music, travel, style, equipment choices and a strong interest in the culture around skiing.

Technically, his public discipline mix points toward amplitude, spin control, grab clarity, switch landings, rail precision and course management. A slopestyle run cannot rely on one trick. It has to connect features without losing speed or rhythm. A big air attempt gives less room to hide. Gomis’ best results come from handling both formats rather than locking himself into one narrow lane.



Faction Prodigy And A Park Setup



Faction lists Gomis as part of its athlete roster in La Clusaz. The La Clusaz magazine profile gives more equipment detail, saying he had been part of the Faction team for three winters and identifying the Prodigy 1 as his favorite ski at the time. The article described it as a reactive, precise park ski, soft at the front and back for switch skiing, carving and butters.

BUG Visionaries lists his sponsors as Oakley, Faction, The Roster, Alpina and DB Journey. Those partnerships fit a rider moving through both contest and creative spaces. Faction supports the ski identity, Oakley covers eyewear, Alpina connects with watch and ambassador positioning, and DB Journey fits the travel side of an athlete moving between La Clusaz, Corvatsch, Tignes, Austria, China and North America.



Tignes, Chur, Beijing, Kreischberg



Gomis’ World Cup record expanded through the 2024 and 2025 seasons. FIS lists starts at Copper Mountain, Laax, Mammoth Mountain, Tignes, Chur, Beijing, Klagenfurt and Kreischberg before the 2025 French selections returned him to Tignes in both slopestyle and big air.

The World Cup results show the harder part of his progression. He was 35th in Chur big air in October 2024, 25th in Kreischberg big air in January 2025, then outside the top thirty at Tignes in March 2025. Those placements are not podium-level, but they show the competitive environment he is trying to solve: larger fields, limited final spots, and judging standards set by the strongest big-air and slopestyle skiers in the world.



Steamboat Changed The Scale



The strongest World Cup number currently visible on his FIS profile is seventh in big air at Steamboat in December 2025. He had qualified fourth two days earlier, then finished seventh in the final result. That is a different level of reference from a mid-pack start, because it places him inside the final conversation at a World Cup big air.

The same 2025/2026 record also shows how unstable the pathway remains. Beijing and Secret Garden produced low placements, Snowmass brought a 56th in slopestyle, and Tignes later listed him 29th in slopestyle and 39th in big air. The pattern is useful because it is real: one high-end big-air result, several difficult World Cup weeks, and continued European Cup points when the tour returned to Europe.



Music From The Laptop Beside The Skis



Gomis is also publicly visible as a producer. La Clusaz described a home studio inside the family house and mentioned music production linked to brand video work. Knuckle Mag returned to that thread in 2026, profiling him as a professional skier, producer and fashion creator while he was chasing Olympic qualification.

This creative layer is not separate from the skiing page. It helps explain why his profile does not read like a pure results sheet. Gomis has the structure of a French team rider, the equipment context of a Faction athlete, and the side language of someone building sound, image and style around skiing. That makes his clips useful beyond standings alone.



Where His Archive Should Go Next



The strongest skipowd.tv tags for Gomis are La Clusaz, Faction, Club des Sports La Clusaz, Youth Olympic Games, Corvatsch 2025, La Clusaz European Cup, Steamboat World Cup, Tignes, slopestyle, big air and creative freeski. His page belongs in the emerging World Cup contest lane, with a clear creative layer.

The current endpoint is precise: a Corvatsch European Cup Premium big-air win in April 2025, a seventh-place World Cup big-air result at Steamboat in December 2025, and 2026 FIS starts at La Clusaz, Tignes and Silvaplana. Future updates should track whether those big-air results become regular finals, Olympic qualification, or a broader film-and-music project around his skiing.
