Heat Experience + Freeski NM = True Just like last year, Heat Experience was asked to contribute as the main sponsor of the Freeski NM in Trysilfjellet, and when it comes to such fantastic events like this, we are rarely hesitant to participate. We packed the car full of heated clothing and drove up to one of Norway's most beautiful ski resorts for what we can only call a proper kickstart to this year's Easter.
Here's this year's report from Freeski NM 🎿
Warm in the sun, freezing cold in the shade.
Those of us who remember Freeski NM 2022 know that it was a challenging affair, both for the wind-blown athletes and the frozen spectators. With strong winds and sub-zero temperatures, and several canceled sessions throughout the weekend, it was fortunate that Heat Experience was ready with heated clothing in all sizes and shapes.
Not to mention the judges who sat out in the cold and held the fort all weekend.
Fortunately, this year's event was the complete opposite of last year, and the weather gods were kind enough to bless us with sun and above-zero temperatures throughout the event. But even though it's warm in the sun in the middle of the mountain, it quickly gets cold in the shade, and our tent was frequently visited by curious spectators who wanted to try our battery-powered heated clothing.
Heated gloves with built-in heating wires are handy to have when you're a bit damp and cold on the chairlift.

The Norwegian elite and the juniors, side by side!
Freeski NM is a competition that includes Slopestyle and Big Air for juniors, seniors, men, and women, and we brought gift vouchers for all podium finishes in all categories. The entire Freeski community was gathered, and it is both touching, inspiring, and fun to see an Olympic champion like Birk Ruud skiing side by side with the youngest and most hopeful in the junior class. These are the moments that create champions, and we simply have to take our warm hat off to the commitment this great community has shown us two years in a row.
Porsche Center Son in their signature style!
Distinguished company in the Easter shade.
For a small start-up company from the Trondheim area, it is incredibly exciting to see our own logo alongside some of Norway's and, not least, the world's most famous and beloved brands. This weekend, we were proud to be represented in the same category as Hestra, K2, Armada, Kapeesch, and especially Porsche, all of whom contributed to making this an unforgettable weekend for everyone involved.
We're aiming for equally good weather and turnout next year! 🙂
