About me:
Skiing has been a passion for me as long as I remember and doing things on a pair of skis is my profession. When I’m not on the mountains, my family, training, clothes designing and climbing keeps me busy.
My long time goal in skiing has been to compete on a high level against alpine skiers on telemark bindings. I have now tasted some nice success during the past years, but I guess that I want more. I have a special, nice feeling of this upcoming season 11/12…
Stay tuned and check out for updates.
