H: What is your background.

T: I grew up in Funäsdalen, a small mountain village close to the Norwegian boarder. My parents put me on skis when I was 3 years old and that was it. Alpine, moguls and freestyle followed and I moved to Åre at the age of 16 for freestyle ski college. When I was 18, I had a very good season and won both freestyle and freeride competitions around europe. Scored my first international sponsor contract and started to film with the legendary Free Radicals. After that I had a couple of good seasons filming with them. But in 2010 I got hurt and was off from skiing for a couple of years. In this time I had a lot of time to think about what I cared for and how I wanted to live my life and that was the start of my environmental commitment. And my career has got a lot better since I started to care about nature and followed my own dreams. Now I try to be as good as I can for the environment and also build a sustainable skiing career. I hope to inspire people to do so as well with my film projects and missions.  

H: What is your craziest adventure so far.

T: Our adventure to Japan through Russia with the Trans-siberian railway. An Experience of new culture, people and totally mind blowing skiing in the middle of nowhere. The most unexpected trip of my life. watch the movie ;)

T: Im really in to the sail and ski thing and I’m planning a sail and ski trip up the Norwegian coast and all the way to Svalbard right now. very excited! its gonna be the biggest adventure of all time.
