Trym Sunde Andreassen

Kongsberg, Norway | Active: 2015-present public ski appearances | Discipline: Slopestyle, Halfpipe, Big Air and Creative Park Skiing | Known for: Youth Olympic bronze, Kongsberg Freestyleklubb, Capeesh projects

Oslo Pipe Bronze Under Youth Olympic Lights

The halfpipe at Oslo Vinterpark carried a hard February brightness, with cold air sitting over the walls and the Youth Olympic start list packed with future names. Trym Sunde Andreassen dropped in for Norway against Birk Irving, Finn Bilous and Alex Hall, holding enough amplitude and control to keep the podium alive. His best score landed at 80.20, behind Irving’s 93.00 and Bilous’ 92.20. It was not a career built on later World Cup medals, but that day gave him a clean international marker: bronze in boys’ freeski halfpipe at Lillehammer 2016.

Kongsberg Freestyleklubb Before The Wider Map

Andreassen’s official FIS profile lists him with Kongsberg Freestyleklubb, Norway, under FIS code 2532262. Olympedia gives the more precise biographical line: born March 27, 2000, in Kongsberg, Viken. That makes his early record easy to place. He was part of the Norwegian freeski environment that was producing strong park and pipe athletes during the mid-2010s, with Birk Ruud becoming the most visible name from the same Youth Olympic cycle.

Kongsberg matters because it keeps the profile grounded. This is not a skier whose public story begins with a large brand movie or X Games invitation. The verified record starts in club skiing, FIS events, Norwegian starts, and Youth Olympic competition. That foundation explains why his later creative skiing still carries contest literacy: pipe walls, jump lines, rail sections, speed checks, switch takeoffs and a comfort moving between formats.

Hafjell Slopestyle In A Heavy Class

Five days after the Oslo halfpipe podium, Andreassen was back on the Youth Olympic results sheet in boys’ slopestyle at Hafjell. He finished fifth, while Birk Ruud won gold, Alex Hall took silver, and Finn Bilous earned bronze. Jackson Wells finished just behind Andreassen, which makes the placing more useful in hindsight. The field was not anonymous. Several riders in that final later became central figures in contest and creative freeskiing.

The Hafjell result also shows why he should not be reduced to a halfpipe-only athlete. Halfpipe demands transition control and vertical rhythm. Slopestyle asks for rails, jumps, landing variety, and enough course management to keep a full run connected. Andreassen had both in the same Youth Olympic week, which gave his early profile more range than a single bronze medal suggests.

Valmalenco And The Junior Contest Years

The next strong public result came in 2017 at the FIS Junior World Ski Championships in Chiesa in Valmalenco, Italy. FIS lists Andreassen fifth in slopestyle there, behind Taisei Yamamoto, Oliwer Magnusson, Ryan Stevenson and Joona Sipola. That result sat inside a dense junior field and confirmed that his Youth Olympic season had not been a one-week spike.

The surrounding FIS record shows a skier still testing several lanes. In March 2016, he won a FIS halfpipe event at Wyller. In March 2017, he won a FIS slopestyle at Oppdal and placed third in a FIS slopestyle at Trysil. At Geilo in April 2017, he took third in Norwegian national-championship big air. The pattern was broad: halfpipe, slopestyle and big air, rather than one narrow contest identity.

Vars 2020 And The European Cup Peak

Andreassen’s most useful senior-level contest marker came at Vars, France, on January 18, 2020. FIS lists him second in a European Cup freeski slopestyle there, worth 104.00 FIS points and 80.00 cup points. That is the strongest open senior result visible in his public competition record. Two weeks later, he finished 14th in European Cup slopestyle at La Clusaz, then 20th in European Cup big air at Davos.

The 2020 European Cup line matters because it gives the page a bridge between junior promise and adult competition. Vars is a serious French Alps park stop, and La Clusaz adds a different texture with steeper resort terrain and a freeski culture tied to style as much as formal judging. Andreassen did not convert that period into World Cup podiums, but he had enough senior scoring history to avoid being treated as only a junior medalist.

Mammoth DNS And The End Of The FIS Thread

The FIS record later shows a scheduled World Cup slopestyle start at Mammoth Mountain on January 9, 2022, but the result is listed as DNS. FIS currently marks Andreassen’s athlete status as not active. That does not mean he stopped skiing publicly. It means the official competition trail becomes thin after the European Cup and Mammoth entries.

This distinction is important for a fair biography. Andreassen should not be presented as a World Cup finalist, X Games medalist or Olympic senior athlete. His verified contest identity is more specific: Youth Olympic halfpipe bronze, Youth Olympic slopestyle fifth, Junior Worlds slopestyle fifth, European Cup slopestyle podium, and several FIS-level Norwegian results across pipe, slope and big air.

Capeesh Moved The Story Away From Start Lists

The more current public record moves into creative skiing. Downdays listed Andreassen among the skiers in Schøneben, a Capeesh edit filmed during the crew’s retreat in Austria. The description pointed to jibbing bins, chalet roofs and street signs, which is a very different environment from a formal FIS slopestyle course. That shift makes sense for a skier with park foundations and enough technical history to adapt to strange features.

The crew list around him also gives the project weight. Schøneben included Ferdinand Dahl, Daniel Bacher, Edouard Therriault, Hugo Burvall, Olivia Asselin, Joona Kangas, Nikolay Jensen, Alek Solberg and Jackson Tito Jenkins. Those names place Andreassen beside skiers known for Jib League, street skiing, creative park edits and modern Scandinavian-influenced freeski style. For his current profile, the crew context matters more than a sponsor list.

CATPISS And A Stacked Capeesh Cast

CATPISS, the first full team movie from the Capeesh crew, gave Andreassen another recent film credit. Downdays’ movie page lists him among Edouard Therriault, Tormod Frostad, Matěj Švancer, Wyatt Dorman, Jackson Jenkins, Kai Mahler, Jackson Wells, Joona Kangas, Hugo Burvall, Daniel Bacher and Ferdinand Dahl. The film was presented through Capeesh with Ethan Cook and Noah Woodford on filming duties.

That cast tells the accurate story. Andreassen is not the central public star of the project in available coverage, but his inclusion places him in a high-level creative environment. Capeesh skiing is built around rails, side hits, unconventional park lines, transfers, wall rides, playful landings and an anti-standard-contest tone. For a former pipe-and-slope competitor, that is a logical second chapter: fewer bibs, more clip value.

Behind The Lens For Øystein Bråten

Andreassen’s current role also appears behind the camera. Downdays credited him as one of the filmers for Fristil, Øystein Bråten’s street part, alongside Aleksander Kongelf, Siver Voll, Mika Piippo, Antti Ollila and Joona Kangas. That credit is useful because it shows participation in the creative process beyond simply being listed as a skier.

Street filming requires trust. The filmer reads speed, frame, run-in, landing, light and repetition while the skier deals with metal, concrete, snow dust, stairs, handrails and awkward impacts. Andreassen’s presence there links him to the same Norwegian creative network that runs from Bråten through Jib League and into Capeesh. The public record is narrow, but it is not empty.

The Accurate Place For Andreassen Now

Trym Sunde Andreassen’s skipowd.tv page should stay modest and precise. He is a Norwegian freeskier from Kongsberg with a Youth Olympic bronze medal, a fifth place in Youth Olympic slopestyle, a fifth place at Junior Worlds, a European Cup slopestyle podium, and recent creative credits with Capeesh. That is enough for a real page, but not enough for a legend profile.

The strongest angle is transition. Andreassen moved from official FIS structures into the kind of crew-based skiing where style is measured by clips, not rankings. CATPISS, Schøneben and his filming credit on Fristil give the current endpoint: a former youth contest medalist still visible inside Norwegian and European creative skiing, especially around Capeesh, rails, park lines and street-influenced projects.
