Bio

What more is there to say about Eric Hjorleifson? He rips absolutely everything, and Powder Magazine awarded him the prize that best describes his skiing: Full Throttle. From slogging ascents to the rowdiest lines to the biggest airs, it’s easy to see Hoji feels most at home in the mountains. No stranger to the gnar, this guy is definitely at the top of his game.

Lake Louise, all tough I haven’t skied there in a couple seasons, it is the mountain I have spent the most time at.

Who are your skiing mentors?
Father, race coaches Richard Jagger and Guy Mowbray, and the Bow valley crew, especially Andrew Sheppard and Kevin Hjertaas.

Favorite quote?
You can’t polish a turd.

Who is your favorite historical character?
King Kong.

Planes, trains, or automobiles?
Sleds and helicopters.

Finish this sentence: “Happiness is a thing called…”
