Growing up in Norway, I had little choice but to embrace skiing, surrounded by snow in an active family – and not to mention my kindergarten had a ski lift. What started as fun turned into a passion and then a career, and soon I was competing in the Olympics and the World Cup. Freeriding came along and I was hooked; addicted to the connection with nature and the freedom that comes with the sport. After competing on the Freeride World Tour (FWT) for four years, I took a year off to focus on personal projects and filming opportunities, but I’m back for the 2024 season and excited to compete again.

I could never stay away for too long. The FWT is more than just a competition; it’s a family, a great crew of people who know how to have fun. But when it’s go-time, the competitive spirit kicks in, and this is why I returned: I crave competing at the highest level, the rush that comes with competition, and seeing the fruits of my rigorous training regimen.
