Where are you from, when did you begin skiing and telemarking, and where do you ski most now?
I’m from Rauland up north in Telemark, Norway, where I grew up in a telemarkskiing family. I’ve been skiing since I was 2 years old, and telemarking since 2000. Recently I moved to Sogndal, a small village by a fjord on the north-west coast, surrounded by glaciers and steep alpine terrain. I look forward to get to know these mountains.
What are your favorite boots and skis?
My favorite boots and skis are the Scarpa T-1 and Stereo Skis Impact 186. It’s a solid and great combo.
What do you like about our bindings?
What I like best about the bindings is their solidness and their ability to ride out anything. They have a solid metal toepiece, which keeps the boot completely locked, making precise contact with the ski and preventing any tearing on the boot. And I like the possibility to set the binding in stiff mode in heavy terrain and to soften it up if preferred for transport and any soft days. I got the HammerHead when I was twelve, and I’ve been using them for years. Now I’m using the Vice, and I am very satisfied with it, and I’m excited to start using the Axl for hiking days.
What do you like to do for fun when you’re not skiing?
I like to climb, hike, hunt, fish, read and do carpentry. I also like to tele-squat, long story, ask me when you see me.
