Tell us about your background:
I was a competitive skier during my student years, but after recognizing the challenges of backcountry skiing, I shifted my focus. I also value the cultural side of skiing and actively organize off-season events and promote cultural activities centered around the sport.
What was your craziest adventure or experience so far:
While on the northeastern ridge of Rishiri, I stepped onto a cornice that collapsed beneath me, causing me to fall. I found myself hanging upside down, 50 meters over a 200-meter drop. My ice axe and some rocks pierced my thighs, resulting in severe bleeding.
Bucket list / Dream trip:
Testing how long I can go without consuming any energy.
Why become a Haglöfs Ambassador:
Because it perfectly aligns with every aspect of my skiing activities.
What´s your favorite Haglöfs gear:
VASSI GTX PRO PANTS
