Activity
Big mountain freeride skiing. Fun fact: I actually didn’t really know what freeskiing was until 5 years ago but now it’s my biggest source of creativity, simplicity, and freedom.
What year did you join the Norrøna family?
2021!
What current items on norrona.com are some of your go-to favorites?
I live in my norrøna warm2 Halfzip. The lofoten collection is also pure beauty.
What do you actively do to cut back on your carbon footprint?
I believe that small things make a difference. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
I also bike everywhere! It’s good for the environment and your legs (a win-win)!!
Career highlights/accomplishments
Skiing has always been a main interest of mine but since I have had no formal training, winning my first freeskiing competition was a real dealbreaker for me. It gave me confidence in myself and my ability to ski.
Where is your favorite place in the world?
In the garden of my childhood home <3
What advice would you give your 10-year-old self?
Enjoy life, there’s plenty of time to be dead. And also, don’t care too much about what other people think of you.
What hobbies do you enjoy participating in?
I love sports! Football, tennis, volleyball, basketball you name it. I also tried to learn how to skate but that ’career’ ended quickly with a broken ankle so now I’m sticking to skiing and falling on soft snow!
What is/are your hidden talent(s)?
I'm the master of baking a kladdkaka (mud cake).
If you could choose a superpower, what would it be and why?
Hmm maybe body swapping? So that I can stop all the bad guys from ruining the world or just enjoy being a pop star for a day.
