Bio

Making his first major appearance in the North American freeskiing scene, Richard Permin debuts with MSP in “The Way I See It” and plans to stick around for a while.  The French superstar racked up top-five finishes at Red Bull Linecatcher and Red Bull Cold Rush, proving that he can hold his own in the backcountry with the best in the world.  Richie joined us on a few park shoots this spring, but admits that he really shines in the big-mountain arena, which he proved while stomping huge airs in northern BC.  Keep an eye on this Frenchman in the future, because we have a feeling he’s got a few tricks up his sleeve for 2011 and beyond.
