What is Jannes relationship to skiing and biking?

“Skiing and biking are integrated in my life. IT IS MY LIFE and especially skiing has led me to where I live, with who I live and what I work with. Skiing is my work and it's what I do in my spare time during winter. When I’m not at work I free ski and ski tour a lot. In the beginning, I started biking to stay fit during the snow-free month but over the years it has developed to be as important for my wellbeing as skiing. Over the years I have been traveling a lot with my friend and world-class photographer Mattias Fredriksson. We have been to many epic places in the world of skiing and biking together.”
