Cesar Barin

César Barin grew up in Val Thorens in a family of skiers and made an early decision to do things differently: he chose snowboarding instead.

That choice eventually carried him to the FWT, where his 2026 rookie season showed a maturity beyond his age, including a podium on the Bec des Rosses.

Snowboarding is only one part of Barin's outdoor life. He surfs, skates, paraglides and climbs through the off-season, while also keeping a regular spring and summer job because, as he puts it, it keeps his head on his shoulders. At 21, he remains one of the youngest riders in the field.
