Jonathan Johansson and Clara Forsberg
Jonathan Johansson is a freeride skier from Berghem, Sweden. He has been our True Ambassador since 2018. Today he shares the winter adventures together with his girlfriend Clara Forsberg.
After eight winters in the Alps and two years as a student in Östersund, Jonathan has recently embarked on a career with the rescue services in Gothenburg. This arrangement allows him to quench his skiing thirst by visiting various locations and making the most of his time away. No more down days due to mediocre weather. In his world 10 centimeters of fresh snow is considered a pow day. Jonathan is the guy who is genuinely passionate about skiing.
Skiing has been a central part of Jonathan's life since he graduated. Every summer was dedicated to work and saving money to maximize the number of ski days during winter. Jonathan also credits skiing for introducing him to his girlfriend and many of the friends he hangs out with today.
“For me, skiing has always been strongly associated with freedom and playfulness. It shines brightest when you're out riding with great friends, and the entire mountain transforms into a natural playground. Have I really turned 30? I refuse to admit it to myself with skis on my feet.”
The absolute best thing about skiing is the variety, according to Jonathan. Skiing never gets boring because it offers so many different ways to have fun. Even though nothing compares to that perfect powder day; a few degrees below zero, sun, and bottomless powder, skiing can be almost as fantastic when carving down a freshly groomed slope, ski touring, or doing lap after lag in the park.
“There's always a way to have fun on a pair of skis.”
Jonathan's best True Experience so far is an expedition in Kyrgyzstan 2018. The participants lived in tents far from civilization without mobile coverage for seventeen days. During the expedition, the group climbed mountains and skied completely unexplored terrain.
“It was a wonderful experience where I got to witness the power of mountains and nature.”
The solution to as many days in the mountain per season as possible is a combination of skiing in Sweden and the Alps. Free skiing and deep powder days attracts the most. The dream is to combine skiing with sailing, a Ski & Sail trip, where Jonathan and Clara sail their own boat from Gothenburg up north to the Norwegian fjords spending the days touring mountain after mountain.
"Imagine taking the dinghy in the morning to the shore, putting on the skins and then touring up an untouched hillside where you can make new lines all day before being lulled to sleep on the boat. That’s magic!"

2 Freeride World Tour Qualifier 3* in Lebanon 2019
