Big mountain freerider Fabian Lentsch grew up near the slopes in Innsbruck, Austria, so it was no surprise when he turned his attentions to freeskiing. A year later he was already taking on the might of Mont Blanc with his father. “When I was 15 years old, I won the first two competitions I competed in,” explains Fabian. “That’s when I realised I can achieve something in this kind of sport.”
Fabian competed in numerous competitions and secured a string of podium finishes before securing a place on the Freeride World Tour in 2015.
Soon after this accomplishment, Fabian decided to take a break from competition to instead concentrate on exploring new regions and documenting his travels. His first film, Passenger, was released in late 2015 and he he's barely stopped travelling since.
Alongside longtime friend Markus Ascher, he's travelled to Greece, Georgia and Iran in pursuit of perfect powder and newfound cultural experiences. Snowmads: A Journey Towards Eastern Suns in 2016 was the first of four (so far) Snowmads films showcasing his nomadic adventures in a converted fire truck.
Since then he's released Ya Mas – Snowmads in Greece (2017), Snowmads – Sense of Home (2019) and Snowmads – A Foreign Native (2022).
