Redford Slone
Student • Web Developer • Mountain Culture Enthusiast • Founder of Riviera Lacrosse
Motivated and passionate about the ski industry, design, and digital storytelling with extensive international skiing experience in France, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, and the United States.
Currently a student at Centre International de Valbonne (CIV), graduating in 2027. I have a deep passion for ski equipment and gear development, with a strong understanding of skier preferences and the needs of different terrain types.
As a dedicated athlete, I have a strong background in alpine skiing and lacrosse. I practice with the French national lacrosse team and have competed in FIS skiing with Snow Team in Limone, Piemonte.
In 2024, I founded Riviera Lacrosse, working to build competitive lacrosse in the Côte d'Azur for the French AFL Sixes.
Through Studio Slone, I'm now building websites and digital experiences for people and businesses around Valbonne and the French Riviera. I combine my passion for design with technical skills to create modern, impactful web presence.
