In the beginning of January Im moving to Innsbruck for three months.

The plan is to go and try and shoot something out there.

People want to ski some real mountains so it should be good.

Quiksilver Sign Antti Ollila: Exclusive Insights From The Flying Finn

If you have a car you have endless options and if you dont you still have plenty of options.

Because theres so many resorts theres something to do whatever the conditions.

Although it sounds like hes going to produce something of his own and get the homies involved.

Its great to see more rider produced content.

We chatted about the few trips he did this winter while filming.

I think Verbier was my favourite; its my favourite kind of skiing to do anyway.

Cruising around the resort and building features and lapping the chairs hoping for some soft snow.

It sounds as if well be seeing a lot more of this kind of skiing from Antti this winter.

I cant say I blame him.

The Ruka segment ofRootswas really beautiful and Antti takes centre stage on home turf.

Colorful lights against that dark Finnish night sky alongside mind-bending tricks really felt like an all-time classic edit.

Its crazy, we were shooting during the light festival they have there.

Most of the hill is lit up with all these colors.

Antti is not a natural self-promoter, preferring to let his riding and segments do most of the talking.

If you asked me a year ago I couldnt have imagined being on Quiksilver.

They approached me and I was like woah!

Especially the new campaign, Surf The Mountain.

This is something I want to be a part of.

Id say Im happy and amazed at the same time.

The Surf The Mountain campaign runs alongside releases of signature outerwear for both Sammy Carlson and Travis Rice.

No doubt well be seeing Antti in some of that series soon enough.

Even though theres skiers, snowboarders and surfers you still have that family vibe.

Everyone was doing each other’s sport which was great.

We went surfing and the surfers went snowboarding.

It was a great trip.

I can only imagine what that Baltic water is like to get in.

A fresh face on the team, soon be seen in some fresh gear!
