Kim Boberg
Kim Boberg is a Swedish freeskier born in 1991 in Älvdalen and based in Kläppen, the resort where he grew up skiing. A long-standing Armada athlete (over 16 years), he became known for his standout video parts and major influence on freeski culture. He is best known as the founder and organizer of the renowned Kimbo Sessions—a spring park gathering at Kläppen that brings together the world’s top skiers in a laid-back, creativity-focused “anti-stress” atmosphere. His park, designed and built under his direction with expert shapers, features unique modules and skate-inspired transitions, with every inch fully skied. Kim embodies community spirit, style, and innovation, making him a living legend in the freeski movement.
Armada
Armada was born in 2002 from a vision shared by a small group of professional skiers and friends, including Tanner Hall, JP Auclair, Julien Regnier, and photographer Chris O’Connell. Frustrated by big traditional brands that didn’t understand the booming needs of freestyle and freeride skiing, they decided to build their own company, dedicated to this new generation of skiers. Their goal was simple: design skis by riders themselves to push limits in parks, powder, and big mountain terrain. Based in Costa Mesa, California, Armada quickly earned a reputation for its innovative, independent spirit. It developed iconic models like the ARV for freestyle and the JJ for backcountry. Thanks to the direct involvement of its founders in design and marketing, the brand cultivated an authentic, rebellious image closely tied to freeski culture. Even today, Armada remains true to the legacy left by its founders, keeping passion and creativity at the heart of its identity.
