Font-Romeu, France | Active: 2018-present | Known for: X Games Aspen 2026 Knuckle Huck silver, Jib League, SLVSH Cup, Rock A Rail | Current: 1000 Skis, Phaenom, Capeesh Aspen Snow And The Knuckle That Changed Her Year The Aspen knuckle was disappearing under falling snow on January 23, 2026. Alaïs Develay came in as a French X Games rookie, looked down the Big Air landing, and treated the feature less like a contest object than a moving rail, butter pad, and dance floor. Her Women’s Ski Knuckle Huck run placed second behind Marin Hamill and ahead of Anni Kärävä.... Read more on the Athlete page

Font-Romeu / Pyrenees, France | Active: 2010s-present public ski record | Known for: What’s Your Name, Pyrenean freeski edits, Font-Romeu coaching | Current: Freestyle coach at Club des Sports de Font-Romeu Clément Martinez is a French freeski rider and coach from the Pyrenean freestyle scene, best documented through the What’s Your Name crew and his long-running role at the Club des Sports de Font-Romeu. The club lists him as a freestyle ski coach since the 2014/2015 season and as an ESF instructor since 2010. That makes his public profile different from a pure contest athlete: his clearest value sits between local riding, crew videos, snowpark culture and the coaching structure that helps young Font-Romeu skiers move toward slopestyle and big air events....

Léo Fourcade’s skiing belongs to that surface: spring slush, local friends, improvised tricks, and a camera close enough to catch every crash. His public profile is not built around World Cup rankings.... Read more on the Athlete page

Madrid / Spain | Active: 2023-present | Known for: European Cup rail wins, Spanish slopestyle titles, X Games Aspen Knuckle Huck, SuperUnknown 22 | Current: RFEDI 2025/26 freeski athlete Aspen Flat Light And A Rodeo 540 The Big Air knuckle in Aspen disappeared into grey January light, snow falling slowly over a course built for improvisation rather than safe repetition. Maria Esteban Uña dropped into the X Games Women’s Ski Knuckle Huck with a field that included Marin Hamill, Alaïs Develay, Anni Kärävä, Jennie Lee Burmansson, Grace Elden and Finley Good. For a Spanish skier still building her senior profile, the moment carried real weight.... Read more on the Athlete page
