ABOUT SHADES OF WINTER
What does it mean for you to be part of SHADES OF WINTER? What is SHADES OF WINTER (for you/in general)
It is a great experince and has developed me as a skier and as a person. I have met a lot of amazing people so far and it´s
truely inspiring to be part of this. It's a bunch of happy girls doing what they love.
Where do you want to film next for a new SHADES OF WINTER movie?
Maybe some different country that we don´t relate to skiing, like for example Afghanistan. Also it could be cool to do some
expedition in Greenland. The US also has a lot of nice resorts worth filming.
Whom do you want to thank?
I would like to thank my family, my sponsors and my friends for inspiration and support. I also want to thank Sandra for
giving me this opportunity with SoW.
Why should people watch the new movie?
Because it´s inspiring to watch people live their passion and that it what the girls in Shades of Winter do.
What’s special about Shades of Winter?
That it´s a ski movie with only girls rippin!
THE NEW TITLE OF THE MOVIE IS PURE
What does PURE mean to you and how would you relate PURE to yourself, to skiing and to the movie?
Pure means doing something out of true happiness. To stay true to yourself and that is skiing to me and that shows in the
movie. People doing something that is true to them.
The new movie tells a little story about these feelings we all experience while skiing.

A quote from you related to these feelings we all experience while skiing, your skiing in this segment; how do these
feelings fit? What are your thoughs and ideas about that?
Japan - BLISS: The word bliss fits perfectly beacuse that is how I felt when I went to Japan. I was really happy for the
oppurtunity to ski with these amazing women in those lines with perfect powder that I have been dreaming about.
What can we expect of SHADES OF WINTER in the future? Where would you love to see SHADES OF WINTER in
2016?
I believe that SHADES OF WINTER will just continue to grow and keep on inspiring people around the world. I would love
to see SHADES OF WINTER in smaller ski resorts, maybe in Sweden and Norway just to show people that even pro skiers
finds the joy in smaller resorts. It´s not always about the deep powder. This maybe can inspire skiers to enjoy the everyday
skiing. Maybe summer skiing could be cool as well.

loved working with them. I learned a lot from them during our trip in Japan! I think they are rad!!
A comment about Sandra.
It´s admiring to see what Sandra does for the female ski industry. Sandra is a passionate person and she works hard to reach
