Fien Van Zwieten

I am a freeskier, although my constantly growing list of hobbies probably won't stop growing hanging out with the Norrøna team. Currently thinking of buying a kayak

Career highlights/accomplishments
Quitting ski racing. The best thing that's ever happened to me and my parent's bank accounts.

Where is your favorite place in the world?
Åre, Sweden, on a slushy spring day with my favorite ski bums.

What advice would you give your 10-year-old self?
You are the only one that defines you and your personality. Believing in your own abilities and talents, and trusting that you are fully able to achieve anything you set your mind to. You can't control the environment you find yourself in sometimes, however, you can learn how to accept it and move past it, turn it into something positive. Asking for help is a good thing. Changes happen all the time, it's not that scary. Be patient. Ask your dad for bitcoin for Christmas. Also, your older brother will always beat you at arm wrestling.

What hobbies do you enjoy participating in?
Skiing, rock climbing, running, skating, hiking, painting, surfing, horse-riding, camping, hockey...kayaking?

What is/are your hidden talent(s)?
I make one hell of a show at the karaoke bar. Also, I can cook lime and cilantro into any recipe. It's my favorite
