Why do you like ski racing and coaching? I am very competitive and like to see what training can to do to you as far as improving in all aspects of competing. I love to work with young people and try to make a difference in their lives.

Best Race and what made it great? I won a regional championship back in Norway in the late 90’s it was 10km Classic. It was great because Frode Estil came in second about 4 seconds behind me, he new who I was but he was surprised to be beaten.

Favorite Music: The Shins, modest mouse and Gylne tidar

Last Book Read: I am reading “Pillars of the earth” by Ken Follet.
