Kaj Zackrisson, a highly experienced
skier of the Saab Salomon Team, started off as an alpine skier. But in early 1998, he started to get more and more interested in the art of Freeskiing. Since then he has won loads of gold medals in contests all over the world. In 2007 he took 1st place in Big Mountain Pro, a competition that starts in Switzerland and ends in Austria! And he had even better results in 2008 with two prestigious victories at Verbier Xtreme and again in Big Mountain Pro! You might wonder about his nickname "Flying squirrel". It comes from the characteristic squirrel-like sound he makes when he throws himself down the slope.
