Q & A

  1. Describe the type of skiing you do.

    I love every aspect of skiing, but i guess you could say my speciality is riding technical lines on big mountains.

  2. How did you get into ski mountaineering?

    I spent my early years of my skiing at Riksgränsen in the very north of Sweden. It's a place with great potential for ski touring and semi steep lines. And, I love exploring.

  3. Why do you think you are able to excel at this type of skiing?

    I feel at home in exposed terrain and I love problem solving, as well as mental and physical challenges. Combine this with a passion for skiing and climbing and you have a definition of my passion.

  4. Why is Chamonix the best place for a ski mountaineer to live?

    You can be out in the high mountains skiing or climbing beautiful lines and then come back to your friends and family in the late afternoon, living an ordinary life. Do this most days the year round and you have kind of a dream situation for any skier or climber.

  5. What are your goals for the future?

    To keep on learning from life, do great things in the mountains, make decisions I'm proud of later and at the same time have lots of love in my life.
