Jesper Tjäder is a skier who does not like to be confined by what’s already been done, but instead, aims to achieve the unachievable. Mostly known for his mind-boggling ski edits, Tjäder has always been pushing limits to learn new tricks, something that has also landed him a bunch load of podiums throughout his career.
The Swedish Freeski star has been bursting with creativity and futuristic thinking since he started skiing as a four-year-old at his home mountain Åre. It was in 2011 that his career really kicked off taking home both the IF3 Rookie of the Year award and the Best Rail Skier of the Year, followed by the Park Shredder of the Year Award in 2012. In 2014 he placed 3rd overall in the FIS Freestyle skiing world cup and became European Freeski Open Champion.
