To know Jean-Baptiste better :
Jean-Baptiste Grange was born on October 10th, 1984 in Saint Jean de Maurienne, in a skier family.
His mother and father were both member of the French Ski Team from 1973 till 1977, so were his aunt Bernadette and uncle Christian, now director of French Ski School in Valloire.
Since a little boy he heard about ski. That's why he naturally came to competition as a member of Valloire Ski Club.
He has always been living in Valloire, a town he appreciates a lot and where he likes to come back, rest and play the activities he is fond of: motorbiking, tennis, beach volley, hunting, off-pist ski and of course partying with friends!
