How many years have you been snowboarding?

For two decades now.

What´s your home mountain?

Wurzeralm, a small resort somewhere in the middle of Austria.

What’s the reason you keep snowboarding?.

It's been part of my life since I was 6 years old and I can't imagine a life without it. When I go snowboarding, I forget about everything and just live in the moment. Nothing beats that.

What does your L1 set up look like this year (what jacket and pants and colorway)?

Axial Ultraviolet top to bottom.

Do you like the cinched pant leg cuffs the L1 pants?

100% YES! It creates a more relaxed fit and you do not step on your pants anymore.

How has your snowboarding evolved the last few years?

Over the years my snowboarding has grown more authentic. My style reflects my personality. Above all, I always try to do what feels right and don’t think too much about it.

I have a short edit series called Formats. You can stream the newest edit "COLD COMFORT" on the Nitro YT Channel around November.

In what way do you want to give back or express yourself within snowboarding?

I like to express my current self through my style. Keep on creating edits and just have fun.

Who are the people in snowboarding right now that keep you motivated and hyped on the current stat of snowboarding community and/or direction?

Austen Sweetin, Torstein Horgmo and of course Arthur Longo! And also my friends - there are no better days than the ones spent with your homies.

Whats your favorite thing about L1 Premium Goods?

Involving the riders in the product development and being a company which truly is 100% behind the snowboard community. I am more than happy being a part of the L1 family.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

THANK YOU L1!
