What's your role at Steepzone /WDF: Rookieteam
 
What does Steepzone / WDF mean to me: For me the team means much. It gives me the opportunity to participate in a community, have fun and do a lot of skiing! Being in a community when we are skiing is very important because we learn a lot from each other, and I'm sure this team will give me many experiences.
 
What does skiing mean to me: Skiing has given me many friends and many experiences that I will take with me throughout my life. And I am sure that skiing is going to do much good for me in the future to!
 
How do I ski: After many hours in the park with small skis, I have found out that the deep snow and wide planks gives me the best experiences. I love the feeling that I work with snow, and that it is the snow that makes skiing possible. I feel more comfortable in the woods or in the mountains where everything is quiet, just me, the skis and the nature.
I love to find lines that nobody else sees and then run them creatively and with flow. After some years with alpine behind me, I feel that I master turning and hard driving too. I think this combination makes me the rider I am.
 
My favourite WDF skis and length is/why: The Preacher 179.
Look forward to get The Reedemer in 180.
 
Goals for 2010: Ski a lot! Travelling to Val Thorens to compete in a combined  Freeride and Freestyle competition. I’m also heading to Stryn and Folgefonna for some summerskiing together with the Steepzone team and good friends!
 
My best results/Memorable moment:
Previously I have participated in park competitions where I have been on the podium. This year I god 2nd place in North Face Ski Challenge. I have so many memorable moments. Best memories must those super funny days together with my brother in the local mountains and the trips to Chamonix with my sister!
 
When I'm not skiing I'm: Probably at school getting my education ready. I’m also longboarding, riding my BMX or downhill bike or hanging out with friends. Slack line and trampoline is also included.
 
My favourite quote is: “Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.”
