Profile and significance Alek Solberg is a park and street-focused freeski rider rooted in the Norwegian scene, part of the new wave of creative jib skiers who are building their name more through web edits, crew projects and alternative contests than through traditional World Cup circuits. He appears as one of the riders in the Capeesh crew’s “Schøneben” project, a high-profile edit filmed during a team retreat in Austria and tied to the long-term filming for Ethan Cook’s movie “Catpiss,” which immediately put him on the radar of dedicated freeski fans following that crew’s output. Alongside his film work, Solberg is also an am-team rider for the fashion-driven Capeesh brand, officially welcomed to the team in early 2025, which further positions him as part of a carefully curated group of jib and style specialists rather than a broad, results-only roster....

Fulpmes / Medraz, Stubaital, Austria | Active: 2016-present | Known for: Beijing 2022 Olympic start, Chur 2023 World Cup podium, stylish switch and butter-heavy big air skiing | Current: public competition status unclear after Ski Austria's 2025 farewell list, but still strongly associated with Monster Energy, Armada and the Austrian park-video scene Chur, night lights, and the jump that changed the scale. The city big-air setup in Chur never feels relaxed. The in-run is steep, the landing looks tighter under artificial light, and every trick carries a little extra theatre because the whole thing happens inside a festival atmosphere instead of a quiet resort lap....

Profile and significance Édouard “Edjoy” Therriault is a Canadian freeski original from Lorraine, Québec, born in 2003, whose blend of creativity and big-ticket execution made him a fixture on World Cup broadcasts and a cult favorite in modern park skiing. After grabbing global attention with big air silver at the 2021 World Championships in Aspen, he added World Cup podiums in both slopestyle and big air, a start at the Olympic Winter Games, and multiple appearances at the X Games. In June 2025, still only 22, he announced he was stepping away from the World Cup start gate to pursue film-forward, art-driven skiing—leaning into the same “frequenski” ethos that has always set him apart....

Those results alone would secure his status.... Read more on the Athlete page

Profile and significance Jackson “Tito” Jenkins is a Utah-born freeski athlete and street-focused park skier whose name has been circulating in core ski circles since he was a kid. Raised around the Wasatch and now based in the Park City zone, he built a reputation early as a fearless jibber with a raw, DIY attitude, the kind of skier who would show up in broken boots and nearly edgeless skis and still look comfortable on handrails and kinked features. Today he is best known as part of the new-wave jib generation connected with the Capeesh crew, a finalist for Level 1’s SuperUnknown 21, and an athlete riding custom boots with DaleBoot....

Profile and significance Joona Kangas is one of the clearest examples of how modern freeskiing can blend contest success with a deep film and street pedigree. Born in 1997 and raised in Finland, he came up through local hills like Himos before settling in Lapland and riding for Levi Ski Club. That northern upbringing, with long winters and floodlit parks, shaped a skier who would go on to win the 2014 FIS Freestyle Junior World Championships in men’s slopestyle and later represent Finland at the 2018 Winter Olympics....

Profile and significance Trym Sunde Andreassen is a Norwegian freestyle skier from Kongsberg, born in 2000, who established himself early as one of the most stylish riders in the country’s deep freeski talent pool. He first drew international attention at the Lillehammer 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games, where he won bronze in the boys’ halfpipe and placed fifth in slopestyle, representing Norway with Kongsberg Freestyleklubb and confirming his status as a genuine multi-event threat. While he has not yet converted that junior success into senior World Cup podiums, his blend of halfpipe edge control, slopestyle rail precision and an explicit focus on style over spin-count has made him a respected name among freeski insiders following the Norwegian scene....

Brand overview and significance Capeesh (often seen online as “capeesh fashion house” or Capeesh Supply) is an independent ski apparel and streetwear label created in 2020 by Norwegian freeskier Ferdinand “Ferdi” Dahl and two childhood friends. Born out of park and street skiing rather than a traditional outerwear company structure, the brand is positioned as a rider-led fashion house: part technical outerwear builder, part creative studio, and part community project for skiers who live in baggy pants and belts all winter long. Instead of chasing mass-market volume, Capeesh works in tight seasonal collections with a clear visual identity: oversized silhouettes, exaggerated cuffs, bold plaids and washed tones, plus visible stitching and details that nod to workwear and vintage snowboard gear....
