Apr25Battery Catapult Big Air
@ Levi
Apr09Battery Catapult in Levi
@ Saariselkä
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!

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!
