TESTED FOR LIFE TRYOUTS

    WITH HEDVIG WESSEL

    "My favourite place? My cabin in the mountains. I grew up there and it’s a place where I can breathe and relax."

    Freestyle skier Hedvig Wessel's favorite place is her family mountain cabin in Ustaoset in Norway. That's where she slipped on ski boots for the very first time.

    Now it's the place where she draws strength for new challenges, of which there are many in her life: As a three-time Freeride World Tour participant, Hedvig Wessel had already made a name for herself in the freestyle skiing scene. For her TESTED FOR LIFE Tryout, Hedvig will take you to the place where she discovered her love for skiing. 

    Find out more about why she relies on her GORE-TEX equipment for her adventures.
