I am Joona, a professional skier from Finland. I stepped on skis for the first time when I was two years old, and skiing became my biggest passion when I was nine. I love diving into the flow state when sliding down the hill and expressing my style and ideas through skiing.
I lived my first years in Central Finland, where I started skiing at Himos Ski Resort. When I was five, we moved to Finnish Lapland with my family, and I continued my favorite hobby. New school skiing quickly caught my attention – especially after watching a movie called Solid Powder 3.
I represented the Finnish National Team in ski slopestyle from 2012 to 2019. During that time, I won the 2014 Junior World Championships and got to represent Finland at the 2018 Olympics. Those years were a great learning experience, but I wanted to follow a different path.
Since 2019, I have been focusing on filming video parts for ski movies with Keesh and other passionate people and participating in innovative contests and invitational events such as Jib League and X Games. That is where I truly get to use my skills and creativity.
