CopenHill’s Qualifier Line in 2026

On Copenhagen’s rooftop dryslope in 2026, Anton Frandsen entered the open qualifier at CopenHill with Norwegian skier Ola Gullstein. The weather shifted through the Scandinavian Team Battle, but the pair secured the two qualifier places against a field of local riders. The format was built around paired runs, creative use of the compact course and crowd response rather than a conventional alpine contest layout. For Frandsen, the result placed a Copenhagen-based skier in the same event environment as established Scandinavian names such as Jesper Tjäder, Robert Ruud, Harald Hellström and Jakob Ebskamp.

The qualification did not produce a podium result, and it should not be presented as one. It was, however, his clearest recent verified appearance in a major regional freeski gathering. The setting also fits his development. CopenHill is not a mountain resort with a long natural-snow season; it is a short, artificial slope where riders repeat laps, refine balance and build confidence on compact freestyle features.

The 2019 Trysil Junior Podium

Frandsen’s competition record begins in Danish junior events. At the 2019 Sjællandsmesterskaberne slopestyle competition in Trysil, Norway, he finished second in the ski junior category behind Mads Bjoerness and ahead of Sofus Samsø Bloch. The result came during a period when Denmark’s freeski community relied heavily on travel to Norway, Sweden and the Alps for natural snow, larger parks and competition infrastructure.

That same year, he received the Best Under 16 award at the Planks Grassroots Tour stop at CopenHill. The event arrived only days after the rooftop venue opened and brought international attention to Copenhagen’s artificial slope. Frandsen was still part of the younger Danish generation, but the recognition showed that he was already active in the small community forming around the new venue.

A Big Air Title Before Sweden

By January 2023, Frandsen was described by Danish ski retailer Steep & Deep as the Danish junior big air champion. The store’s profile also listed his setup at the time: a K2 Poacher or Mindbender ski, Oakley MOD1 MIPS helmet and Oakley Line Miner goggles. Those equipment details document support at that moment, not a permanent current sponsor list.

Big air places a different demand on a skier than short dryslope laps. The athlete needs a controlled takeoff, stable axis through rotation, a deliberate grab and enough awareness to land on a steep transition without losing balance. Frandsen’s verified junior title gives his profile a competition foundation, while later appearances suggest he has continued to use that base in a wider park and crew environment.

Liljaskolen and a Seven-Day Ski Routine

In the same 2023 profile, Frandsen said he was living in northern Sweden and attending Liljaskolen, approximately 1,600 kilometres from where he grew up. He chose the school because skiing was part of the schedule: three sessions a week, totalling roughly nine hours, alongside regular personal riding. He described skiing seven days a week during that period, a major contrast with the limited natural-snow access available around Copenhagen.

The move gave him a more regular winter training rhythm. Rather than waiting for short Danish snow windows, he could work on park laps and general skiing through the season. He also described CopenHill as useful for Danish beginners and local progression, while making clear that a northern Swedish winter offered more daily snow than an artificial surface. That distinction is important: CopenHill supplied repetition, while Sweden supplied time on snow.

From Plastic Laps to Bungee Breakers Credits

Frandsen’s public record also overlaps with the Bungee Breakers community, a Danish crew connecting park riders, street skiers, filmers and event organisers. He was acknowledged in the credits for Promised Land, the crew’s first full-length project, filmed in Umeå and Sundsvall during late December 2021 and early January 2022. The project was directed by Jakob Ebskamp and Mathias Skaarup, with the main cast including Simeon Sørensen, Lasse Lehwald, Joachim Clausen Hansen, Ebskamp, Scum of Skiing and Jakob Ahlers.

Frandsen was credited in the project’s acknowledgements rather than the starring roster, and that difference should stay clear. The connection still places him close to a crew that has helped document Danish and Scandinavian street skiing. Promised Land was supported by One Open Sky, alongside brands and local partners that helped a Danish production travel north for real snow, urban features and longer film sessions.

Bungee Breakers Open Appearances

Frandsen was also listed among the riders in Bungee Breakers Open material from 2024 and 2025. These appearances add continuity between his junior competition results and the current Copenhagen scene. Bungee Breakers Open is not a FIS World Cup or an Olympic qualifier; it is a regional freeski event built around the community that has grown through CopenHill, Danish shops, film crews and Nordic travel.

That context is where his profile is strongest. The verified record does not support claims of international medal contention or a major federation ranking. It does show a skier who has remained visible through Danish big air, regional slopestyle, school-based training in Sweden, Bungee Breakers projects and the CopenHill event circuit.

Rail Timing, Takeoff Control and Short-Lap Progression

Frandsen’s available record points toward a park-oriented freeski approach. Big air competition requires takeoff discipline and aerial awareness, while CopenHill’s format rewards quick adaptation to a synthetic surface, short approaches and repeated attempts. On a dryslope, friction differs from snow, edges wear more quickly and a rider has little time to reset body position before a feature. Clean switch approaches, compact spins, rail timing and balanced landings become especially important.

Those skills translate across the environments in which he has appeared. Trysil provided a standard snow-based slopestyle contest. Northern Sweden gave more frequent winter sessions. CopenHill turned the same technical habits into short, visible runs on an urban roof. The Bungee Breakers connection added a crew setting where skiing is shaped by filming, travel and shared sessions as much as by a results sheet.

A Copenhagen Path Still in Motion

Anton Frandsen’s verified trajectory runs from a 2019 junior podium and Best Under 16 recognition, through a Danish junior big air title and a school-based winter chapter in Sweden, to Bungee Breakers credits and the 2026 Scandinavian Team Battle qualifier. Each point is local or regional, but together they show a sustained connection to Danish freeskiing rather than a single isolated result.

The latest confirmed marker is the 2026 qualifier at CopenHill with Ola Gullstein. Future updates should follow documented event results, named film credits or confirmed team announcements. Until then, the clearest description is precise: Frandsen is a Danish emerging freeski rider whose progression has been shaped by CopenHill, Swedish training access and the Bungee Breakers scene.
