Team
Mattias Hargin
Mattias is a Swedish former World Cup winner in slalom racing who competed on the international top level for over a decade. He splits his time between his native Stockholm and his winter home in Engelberg, Switzerland, where he pursues his other big passion, freeriding. Mattias is a powerful skier with a beautiful technique, perfectly adapted to the conditions. He’s also part of The Mountain Studio’s marketing team.
Sixten Svensson
Sixten grew up in Åre and started alpine racing at an early age, eventually moving on to competing at an international level. He specialized in the speed disciplines and was one of the forerunners at the downhill competition during the 2019 World Championships in Sweden. These days, Sixten focuses on freeriding instead, but he’s still scary fast. Last winter, he was clocked skiing backwards at 117 km/h in an icy, double black diamond slope! And he still carves better than most people we know, always with an effortless style.
