KJETIL, FIVE QUICK QUESTIONS

1.     How do your experiences from your competitive career influence the development of Stereo Skis products?

I have always skied on smaller ski brands. Throughout the 90s and up until 2006 I was very close to ski development. This was a period when we went from 203 in SL to 155, among other things. One spring day in Hemsedal in 1994, I skied 38 trips to find out which skis were the fastest. In a marginal sport like alpine skiing, this is an important part of the job. The experience I have gained through 30 years as an alpine skier, now allows me to produce the best possible Norwegian alpine skis - for both experts and beginners. Norway, with all its good skiers, deserves Norwegian alpine skis! 

2.     What’s your favorite type of ski day – powder, groomed runs, or ski touring?

Powder is always fun - but for me, skiing on slopes with world class conditions, is what triggers me the most! With only few people around, speeding down at 100 km/h and just feeling that the skis are lifting me down the hill. 

 

3.     In your opinion, what’s the most important thing to consider when choosing the right skis?

Safety - that you find skis that you can master and can move freely on - without being afraid of injuries! 

 

4.     If you could give one piece of advice to the next generation of alpine skiers, what would it be?

Never give up - you can always learn and get better !

5.     What are your thoughts on The Lift Borne concept?

The Lift Borne makes comfortable ski clothing at a good price. Plus it looks cool - the best for children and youth in alpine skiing!

 

 

Psst – Rumor has it that Stereo Skis is planning to launch a collection of top-tier junior racing skis.

Since last fall, THE LIFT BORNE has been outfitting Stereo Skis for ski tests and events.
