More information:
I am a freeskier from Kuopio, Finland. I have been skiing since I was 14 years old and the more I ski, the better it feels. My favourite thing in skiing is being in the air. Let it be big kickers in the park, backcountry jumps with soft landings or nicely groomed halfpipe, I will have fun playing around with them!
Now I really enjoy skiing halfpipe and I want to put more focus on that aspect of my skiing. Learning new stuff is super fun, so let's all go out and ski!
