Portrait

Lars is undoubtedly one of the Skier-X superstars! A talented Alpine skier, former member of the Swedish team, Lars began Skier-X in 2002 and won on the Crossmax circuit in Sweden. He then joined the Salomon Pro Team and seemingly nothing could stop our talented Swede with his impressive style and determination. During his first X-Games in 2003, he won the gold medal in front of all the favorites and repeated this feat with another victory in 2006 thanks to his risk taking and tactical sense! Lars also confirms all his talent on the World Cup circuit with a total of 5 victories and 3 podiums; he finished 2^nd in 2008 and 3^rd in 2009 in the World Cup Overall ranking. In 2010, Lars will be one of the great favorites for the first Olympic title in Skier-X history!
