I\u2019m originally from Alsace and I fell in love with Les Gets when I first came here about ten years ago on a family holiday. I\u2019m lucky to be able to work here today as a shaper, with a great team by my side.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-core-heading\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Les Gets: Tell us about your background.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p><strong>No\u00e9<\/strong>: <em>After my Baccalaureate, I joined the team at Bike Solution (design office specialised in creating Pump Tracks) and I learnt so much during my three seasons there. I felt the need to get back to my original calling though, which was downhill MTB. As I was looking for new opportunities, I ended up in Les Gets in 2022 and I\u2019m so proud to be working in one of the leading resorts in Europe for this sport.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-core-heading\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Les Gets: What advice would you give to younger people who would like to enter this profession?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p><strong>No\u00e9<\/strong>: <em>Shaping bike tracks is above-all a real passion. It is a demanding and technical profession that requires a certain level of devotion and commitment. My advice would be to create your own projects first in the forest, with authorisation from the owner. That\u2019s what I did, between the ages of 14 and 18 as soon as I had some free time, I went into the woods to bring my own creations to life<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p><em>As for the specific training and studies, the shaper profession has evolved in recent years. Now it\u2019s possible to opt for a Professional Baccalaureate in mountain professions, which includes specialist landscaping modules that are particularly suited to this profession. This training will give you specific, in-depth skills that you will find essential to really excel in this field.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-core-heading\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Les Gets: Can you describe a typical day as a shaper in Les Gets?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p><strong>No\u00e9<\/strong>: <em>The day begins at 8 am and the whole team gets together in our premises at the heart of the tracks. We meet to talk about what needs to be done during the day, taking into consideration any comments from the Bike Patrol (pretty much the equivalent of the Ski Patrol team) who are always out on the tracks and inform us of the condition of the trails. We also discuss the tracks that haven\u2019t been worked on in a while, the next ones that will need some maintenance work. After this morning meeting, we all set off to start our duties for the day, depending on our roles. I am responsible for the work that requires a mini excavator<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p><em>Thanks to the instructions given every morning, we know exactly what we need to do. We often work to smooth out the tracks with holes created by the many riders using them, and we modify some of the bends. These are the two most common tasks we are entrusted with. Sometimes, we even need to completely redesign a track. This is a more significant task and it usually takes around three weeks to a month.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p><em>After I\u2019ve completed my task with the mini excavator, another shaper takes over with a shovel to go over any imperfections and smooth out the track. Then we all get together again at the end of the day to talk about what we did and exchange views. Communication is key in our profession.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p><em>The day usually comes to a close at around 6 pm. We make sure all the machines are ready for the next day and we look after our tools.
