About

Norwegian World Cup alpine ski racer specializing in slalom and giant slalom, racing for Skiforeningen Stavanger. World Cup debut on 21 January 2024. Broke through in the 2025-26 season with a 5th place in the slalom at Madonna di Campiglio (bib 33), missing his first World Cup podium by one tenth of a second, plus 8th-place finishes at Schladming and Kranjska Gora and 7th at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics. In May 2026, split from long-time supplier Fischer to join Marcel Hirscher's VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports team alongside fellow Norwegian Hans Grahl-Madsen, following the same path as Timon Haugan.

Competed in both giant slalom and slalom at the 2026 Winter Olympics (7th). FIS's official biography still lists 'Skis: Fischer' as of writing - this predates the May 2026 VAN DEER signing and is treated as stale rather than current. Lives and trains in Oslo alongside teammate Hans Grahl-Madsen.
