Biography
Noël is from the Remiremont commune in Vosges, in northeastern France.
In 2015, he joined the France B team and made his first World Cup debut in November 2016 at Levi, Finland. He became Champion of France of Slalom Elite with Lélex on March 26, 2017, and scored his first points in the World Cup by taking 20th place in the slalom at Val-d'Isère on December 10, 2017. He gained his first top ten by placing eighth in the slalom at Kitzbühel on 21 January 2018. A few weeks later, on 7 February, he won the slalom at the Junior World Championships at Davos, Switzerland.
Noël competed in his first Olympic Games at Pyeongchang in 2018 and just missed a medal, coming in fourth in the slalom. He gained his first World Cup podium eleven months later with a runner-up finish in the slalom at Adelboden on 13 January 2019.[2] A week later he won his first race, a slalom in Wengen. At his first World Championships in February, he was seventh in the slalom.
Noël is a student at the University of Savoy.
