A personal era has come to an end…

After a life with two skis on my feet I feel like a personal era is past and a turningpoint in my career has come. These skis have brought me to places that people only dream of and I feel very fortunate that I have had the opportunity to be one of the foremost in my sport. When I look back I can see a lot of great success in a sport that has developed from an idea of crazy people and have made the transformation beeing a sport that cut the criteria and stept up beeing in the Olympics.
Victories in the X-Games and Worldchampionships are medals that I will carry for the rest of my life and I am really proud of this.
As the sport went into the Olympics this was a dream come true and I had a goal of bringing one of those medals home. I gave it my best and ended up in 4:th, feels hard at the moment but I will look back at it in a few years with great memories.
Through out the years I have taken a lot of beating and with several hard injuries I´ve made it back for the love of the sport. After a crash at the race in Grindelwald I now sit back and find myself once again with a operated ACL and I am looking at a sommer of rehab, once again. I have come to the point in my career when health is to become a matter of my future well beeing.
And I feel that skiing in the future will take place in the company of good friends on a mountain somewhere instead of in a competetive inviroment.

I hereby announce my retirement from the beautyful sport of skier-x and I am looking at the future with new eyes.
I will now step into and work with the company POC that I through the last year have been working alot with.
I will also continue working as Athlete representative for the FIS(Freestyle).
So I will be apart of the sport in some way consulting, I also feel that my knowledge can be of use for further development in Ski Cross.
