Q&A
How did you first get into Skiing?
My first time on skis was at the age of two. My parents strapped skis to my feet and just pushed me down a hill. For that I’m thankful because by the age of 16 I was racing. As time went by crashing gates gradually became less important, and even became tiring and boring. A few years later I found myself skiing in the backcountry. That´s what my heart beats for.
If you had to give one piece of advice to someone starting to Ski, what would it be?
No matter the conditions, a day on skis is a good day.
What is the most challenging or rewarding Ski Competition/Expedition you have achieved?
That´s a difficult one. I can´t really pick a single occasion. For me, It´s about all the little moments which make you pause, smile and think “thank you”. All of the adventures create amazing memories which I´ll most likely never forget and that´s the biggest gift which can ever be given to someone. Travelling is more than just getting from A to B, seeing different places, get to know about cultures, meeting amazing people. That´s all great but more importantly, you learn. You grow. You learn to appreciate and be grateful for what life brings along. In the end, for me, that´s the biggest reward.
What are your aspirations for 2020?
To fully recover from injury and start skiing again, along with finishing movie project in Norway.
