The Helly Hansen Ski Team riders will account for many of the sickest video parts and insane images in this year's ski films and international
magazines. A focused balance of freestyle skills, big mountain prowess, youthful energy and the confidence that comes with experience makes this
team right for developing the best product possible and showcasing its incredible abilities in the mountains. Helly Hansen prides itself on its global recognition as the leader in technical, protective outerwear, and its team reflects this global commitment, featuring riders from over a dozen different countries.

New to the Helly Hansen Ski Team this year is a group of riders whose balanced skills and hard working approach to skiing make them perfect
additions to an already dominant team. Hugo Harrisson is arguably the number one big mountain rider in the skiing world today. He began by destroying backcountry lines for the judges, and now rides in front of the cameras of Matchstick Productions. Sarah Burke is known as the undisputed best female skier in the world, combining Global X Games wins and ESPN Action Sports Female Skier of the Year awards to earn this title. Niklas Karlstrom is a new addition to the team as well, bringing youth, serious skills and the excitement of being the next big rider to come out of Sweden. Recently promoted to the international team, Nico Zacek comes out of Germany with a freestyle background and the podiums, coverage and skills that mean he will
have a major impact on skiing in the coming years.

These riders join an immensely talented team including Eric Pollard, Mike Wilson, Vincent Dorion, Stian Hagen, Jessica Sobolowski, and Shawn "Smiley" Nesbitt. Watch for the Helly Hansen team this year confidently pushing
skiing beyond expectations on all sides of the mountain. These are the riders who will continue to develop the most technical, stylish outerwear
available from Helly Hansen.
