Ben Cavet

Moguls king

In mogul skiing, Ben Cavet is a benchmark: speed, commitment, precision. On a rough course, he remains clean, explosive, and efficient. Trained from childhood at the Châtel Ski Club, he quickly made the resort both his training ground and his anchor point.

Vice World Champion, with over 30 World Cup podiums and 4th place at the last Olympic Games, Ben represents Châtel at the highest level. He often reminds everyone that it was here that he developed not only his technique but also his love of challenge and the mountains. When he returns to train in Châtel, he remains approachable, gladly shares with young athletes, and maintains that simple connection with the resort that saw him grow up.

Jade Grillet-Aubert

The daring one of skicross

In skicross, everything is decided in a second: the gate opens, and off they go. Jade Grillet-Aubert launches herself with clear determination, precise skiing, and total commitment. After leaving alpine skiing for ski cross, she found a discipline where speed, course reading, and instinct make all the difference.

Vice World Champion in team events, with 4 World Cup podiums, Jade moves forward with calm and strength. She turns every start into a performance and every line into progress.

Camille Bened

The rhythm of biathlon

At dawn, when the snow is still untouched on the frozen plateaus, Camille Bened sets off: rifle on her back, eyes focused, body ready for the effort. In biathlon, every stride counts, every shot can decide a race. It is in this blend of silence and intensity that Camille excels.

After dominating the 2024-2025 season by winning the overall IBU Cup, she confirmed her rise on the elite circuit. At the start of this Biathlon World Cup season, in Östersund in December 2025, she reached the podium for the first time: 3rd in the 15 km individual with a solid shooting performance (19/20).
She added a podium in the single mixed relay, proving that she truly belongs among the elite.

Louise Trincaz

The soul of the Summits

At just 20 years old, Louise already has an impressive record: French champion in multiple disciplines (vertical, relay, individual, sprint), European champion in the mixed relay, and European vice-champion in the individual event.

In 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, on the youth ski mountaineering circuit, she won multiple times: silver in the U20 individual, regular World Cup youth podiums, and a silver medal in Molde in 2024.

Now part of the French A team, Louise is aiming for the senior circuit: she trains hard, builds endurance and technique, and ambitiously prepares for the next World Cup stages and future Championships.

Makayla Gerken Schofield

Bouncing Queen

With remarkable results, such as her 8th place at the 2022 Olympic Games, regular top-10 World Cup finishes, and her first podium in Val St. Come, Makayla embodies the demands of elite sport while staying true to her roots. In Châtel, she shares her energy and experience with young athletes, reminding them that talent is always nurtured by a connection to the mountains and the terrain that shaped it.
