KAJ ZACKRISSON
Kaj Zackrisson might just be the most stoked professional skier you'll ever meet. Plain and simple, he is always so happy to be skiing and to be in the company of good friends. But don't let his smiles and jokes fool you. Kaj can ski the steepest, deepest and gnarliest terrain around. After growing up alpine racing in Sweden, he participated in his first freeride competition at age 25 and was hooked. He's since won the Verbier Xtreme competition three times and the Big Mountain Pro twice. Kaj has appeared in numerous ski movies and Salomon Freeski TV episodes over the years and will continue to push the boundaries of our sport for many years to come.
