I don't even remember when was the last time summer has felt so good as it does right now! Hopefully this will last forever!

Wohooo Water Ramp Camps are starting tomorrow and I'm excited! Haven't had this good summer in ages and we just got some crazy summer shots for Nipwitz summer episode!

Enjoy the summer!

Are you ready for the best summer camp ever!?

KuoSi Freestyle Ry in collaboration with Armada and Salomon are hosting a camp for freeskiers. There will be tons of jumps to water and even more fun and leisure activities. I am hosting the camp with Salomon Finland's team manager Jussi Saarinen, so there will be no lack of good coaches!

Hi all!

Road trip to Lapland (northern part of Finland) has been done. We went to many beautiful locations including Saariselkä, Pyhä, Ruka and Ylläs. A couple of screen captures from our sessions below!





Nipwitz episode 4 is coming in the end of May, stay tuned!!

Nipwitz filming tour in Lapland begun pretty well for me, just won a big air event in Levi hosted by Battery and town in Catapult. Got a double set of free flights by Blue1 so I guess I need to start looking at those palm trees and soft sand. I will post an edit of the competition as soon as it is ready!

Now I'm in Saariselkä ski resort, which is one of the northernmost resorts in the world. Corner jump session tomorrow and hopefully good footage for Nipwitz episode 4!

The third episode of Nipwitz videoblog is now online! Skiing by me, Okko Raitanen, Verneri Hannula and Tommi Kostilainen. Editing by Aarni Toiviainen.

ENJOY!! (click the logo below to watch)

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!
