With skis Kaj is a real bomb, with a virtually perfect technique as he showed off while winning one of the most prestigious Big Mountain Contest: the Verbier X-Treme 2006 & 2008. When he is not Freeriding, this all-rounder shows off his artistic talents: he has started up his own hat company, Kask, and designs them himself. If he takes one of them off, you’ll discover his laughing face and inimitable dreadlocks! Through his numerous films, produced by his own production company Swedish Posse, Kaj also puts his efforts into sharing his undiminished passion for skiing.
