Daniel Yule's Conferences

From a very early age Daniel Yule exhibited the signs of someone with a very determined character. After a few seasons skiing with the family and with the Champex‐Ferret ski-club, his first ever ski race – on his 5^th, birthday – (the Erika Hess Open at La Fouly) gave him the taste! He would go on to join Swiss-Ski and start registering his first points in the European Cup. He started his career in the World Cup with the legendary slalom in Kitzbühel. So, a promising season and, as result, promotion into the WC3 Futures group with as trainer, Didier Plaschy. Although the next season was devoid of any startling results it was, nevertheless, considered a success, with a number of World Cup races under his belt; his first place in the top 10 in the European Cup; and a number of victories in FIS competitions. As a result he was promoted to the WC3 group and found himself with his former trainer, Steve Locher. In the 2013-14 season, Daniel had some excellent results with his first World Cup points in Bormio; 7^th place in the Kitzbühel slalom; participation in the Winter Olympics in Sochi; and finished at the top of the classification for slalom in the European Cup.

As a leader in the national team, Daniel attacked the 2016/2017 season with the aim of maintaining the team in the premier group in the World Cup slalom (top 15) and, if possible, to obtain a medal in the World Championships in St. Moritz.
