Q&A
How did you first get into Skiing?
My parents took me skiing when I was only a few years old at Kläppen, one of the family resorts in Sweden. After seeing an alpine skiing club train slalom there I was fascinated and wanted to try it, so my parents signed me up without knowing what was ahead. Looking back the entire family got dragged in to it. Both of my younger sisters changed to skicross and I eventually moved on to freeride, but it all started at the local ski school in Kläppen.
If you had to give one piece of advice to someone starting to Ski, what would it be?
One of the hardest things I have ever tried to explain is what skiing is to someone that has never seen snow. That really made me realise that it is a very weird activity, but it’s still my absolute favourite thing to do in this world. So if you’re giving it a try for the first time, just do it with an open and positive state of mind, have fun and be prepared to fall.
What is the most challenging or rewarding Ski Competition or Expedition you have achieved?
It would probably be the ski touring and winter camping expedition we did in Northern Norway last spring. We spent the trip in the area around the Lyngen Alps with the most amazing conditions ever, both weather and snow-wise, and skied so many amazing lines in an extraordinary landscape.
