Profile and significance Jacob Wester is a Swedish freeski original whose career traces the sport’s last two decades—from the dawn of doubles in park and big air to steep, foot-powered lines in the high Alps and Arctic Norway.

Brand overview and significance Armada is widely recognized as skiing’s pioneering athlete-founded brand. Launched in 2002 by a crew of influential freeskiers and creatives, it set out to build equipment around how modern skiers actually ride—park, powder, streets, and big, natural terrain—rather than filtering innovation through traditional race heritage. The brand’s identity has remained anchored in rider input and film culture, with a product line that mirrors the creative, playful approach that reshaped freeskiing in the 2000s and beyond....
