Biography
Anders is a Norwegian freeskier from Vikersund, Norway. He started skiing at age of eight in the resort co-owned by his dad and got comfortable being in the air by ski jumping as a teenager. As soon as he started jibbing he was hooked and he became a pro skier at 19. Anders has spent his career travelling the world and taking part in contests and film projects, with the goal of pushing the limits of urban and freeskiing. Known for his films Supervention and Supervention 2, he was also very proud to compete at the X Games twice and jump over the iron globe at Nordkapp. When he isn’t skiing down Olympic bobsleigh tracks or hitting rails on cruise ships, he spends time with family. Now married with a daughter, he wants to take care of his family in the best way possible whilst also pushing the sport. He hopes to one day achieve a world first and world record.
