 Johan Jonsson
Johan Jonsson  Bio Johan was born to a world of snow, it is part of who he is. As a child in the small town of Malung in Sweden, it was of course natural for him to ski. Years of ski racing on the Swedish circuit followed. But then a couple of powder trips opened up a new world to Johan, and he realised that freeskiing was to be his passion. Johan is not ashamed to be lucky, and to have this opportunity to live his skiing. But he truly appreciates his fortune - for being born into a world in which he could ski and for having the health to be able to realise his dream. His attitude is that happiness is the basis for life. For Johan skiing is fun, it is his passion; the day it becomes only a job, will be the day he knows he will no longer be skiing so well. For a skier there is frustration when weather stops play, but Johan reminds himself to think to the lives of so many to whom the weather is a harsh reality; the difference between having, or not having, enough food to eat. Beyond his life in the snow, Johan loves to read and to write, and hopes in the future to use writing to share his passions. But for now skiing is his love, and his life is dedicated to the snow.
