Vibram has signed a partnership agreement with Léo Slemett, the French freeride champion. As a brand ambassador, Slemett will also collaborate with Vibram on the development of new solutions for the sport, with a focus on technology and performance. Slemett was born in 1993 in Chamonix, France, a capital of ski mountaineering with access to iconic peaks, including the Mont Blanc. In 2017, Slemett won the Freeride World Tour overall title, rising from the ashes of personal tragedy. In April 2016, his girlfriend and fellow Freeride World Tour competitor, Estelle Balet, died in an avalanche in Switzerland. In 2019, he earned the third spot in the general ranking of the Freeride World Tour.
