Starting with alpine racing at the age 14, Christine had a good basis when changing lanes to freeride skiing in 2007. By then she had been skiing for the Alpine national world cup team and competed in the world cup, but she was feeling unmotivated and looking for something else. That something else turned out to be big mountain skiing, and she was soon drawn into the freeriding competition area. She has a reputation of riding “men’s lines” as one of the judges in the Freeride World Tour nicely put it. In 2012 she went right to the top in the Freeride World Tour, claiming 1st places in Røldal, Norway and in Verbier, France, and today she is concidered to be one of Swedens best big mountain skiers.
