DORIS – MOUNTAINLOVER & WINTER Child
Doris feels most alive in the mountains – especially when they’re covered in snow. Whether freeriding, ski touring or hiking: she’s all about being outdoors, in nature. Her motto? “If I really want something, I make it happen.” And that’s exactly how she lives – honest, direct, and with a great sense of humor.
Her biggest sporting achievement: climbing the Ortler – a true personal milestone, especially since high altitudes (anything over 3000 m) are always a challenge for her. Her most beautiful moments? Being alone in untouched winter landscapes – every time feels special. Her personal favorite: sunrise ski tours in Obertauern before work.
Her go-to gear: any POP EYES goggles with turquoise lenses – simply because they look great. What makes POP EYES special for her? The style, the logo, and the laid-back attitude behind it all.
As for training discipline? Not really her thing – she simply moves in ways that bring joy. And on lazy days? That’s okay too – evenings are for chilling in front of the TV.
Moments in motion.
