Backcountry Podcast | Ep. 16 | Snowboard Lore With Torstein Horgmo

Torstein Horgmo is a veteran in the pro snowboarding community whose career isn’t slowing down anytime soon. From X Games gold medals to his close involvement in Shred Bots content and countless video parts, he’s definitely earned his epic reputation.

Nils chats with Torstein about his path to becoming a pro snowboarder, and the two bond over the challenges of frequently traveling solo at such a young age. Torstein touches on his passion for making music and digs into his relationship with Norrona—one of our favorite brands.
