Henrik Harlaut
Henrik Harlaut, born in 1991 in Stockholm and raised in Åre, Sweden, is one of the most iconic and creative freestyle skiers in the history of freeskiing. From an early age, he fell in love with park and street skiing, developing a signature style instantly recognizable by his baggy pants, dreadlocks, and hip-hop-influenced mannerisms. He changed the game in Big Air by landing the first nose butter triple cork 1620 and has racked up over thirteen X Games medals, including eight golds, mainly in slopestyle and Big Air. He also represented Sweden at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, PyeongChang, and Beijing, notably earning a bronze medal in Big Air in 2022. Beyond podiums, Henrik is celebrated for his approach to skiing focused on creativity and style, often choosing to film segments or ride events like Kimbo Sessions over strict competition. Through films, standout video parts, and his own series with Level 1, Armada, and Harlaut Apparel, he has played a huge role in reshaping freeski culture. His positive energy, laid-back philosophy, and authenticity continue to inspire the entire freestyle ski community.
