Why Shaper?
Snowboarding is quite important in my life as it got somewhat one of a main coping mechanism in my early teenage years, but the financial resources you need to do so are unbearable for an average person; therefore, one little incident came to another and here I am, thanks Olsen!
What do you most enjoy working as a Shaper?
The feeling of unity und necessity of teambuilding with all sorts of different characters from different places in life, you see, building a park is not a solo mission or ego trip; you have to work together in order to make something cool out of it and spend a good time with your crew.The calmness of being on the mountain when almost everybody else has already left is nice as well, it’s a good place to think without any major distractions.
