“We are thrilled to welcome Aime, Megan and Rémy to the Norrøna ambassador team. Each athlete brings a unique perspective to the brand and to their sports, and we look forward to collaborating on future projects,” said Jørgen Jørgensen, leader and fourth-generation owner of Norrøna. “We are especially excited that all three ambassadors will represent Norrøna in key areas of North America, as we continue to expand our presence there.” 

Amie Engerbretson (@amieski) joins Norrøna’s ambassador team from Lake Tahoe, California, where she effortlessly turned her passion of skiing into a thriving career. She is an active climate advocate, working with community organizations, lobbying groups, regional elections and more to help shift the focus toward primary drivers of solutions. Engerbretson recently released her climate documentary “The Hypocrite,” which aims to squarely address imperfect advocacy in the world of snow sports.

“I have admired the Norrøna brand for a long time, and joining the team is really a dream come true,” said Engerbretson. “Norrøna blends the highest-level performance with great style, a solid background in sustainability and rich brand history. I am really inspired and energized for the season ahead with this incredible company.”

Megan Dingman (@megan_dingman) found her love of skiing through ski racing, which later flourished into a life-long passion and love for the outdoors. She settled in Salt Lake City after skiing NCAA  at Saint Michael’s College and quickly found herself exploring the backcountry powder stashes, bike trails, local climbing routes and rivers.

The final addition to the Norrøna ambassador team is mountain biking athlete Rémy Métailler (@remymetailler). Originally from the Southeast of France, Métailler now calls Squamish, British Columbia, home, where he hikes, skis, surfs and of course, mountain bikes. He has been invited to four Red Bull Rampage events in his career and pushes the boundaries of possibilities with his riding.

“I’m excited to be working with Norrøna. I have watched the brand grow in North America over the past few years, and I love the products I have been using so far,” said Métailler. “I’m excited to be part of the development of the future range of mountain bike products and work with a brand that puts technical performance and sustainability in the forefront of all its gear.”

Métailler will be joining ambassadors Geoff Gulevich and Joline Johansson for a unique mountain biking experience at Norrøna Canvas Telemark May 8-10, 2024.

Manchester, Vt. (February 27, 2024) —Dominic Lucero, angler, outdoor educator, and founder of Colorado Treks, has been recognized by outdoor retailer Orvis with its Breaking Barriers Award for 2024.

“Orvis created the Breaking Barriers Award in 2015 to recognize the individuals or organizations going above and beyond to bring new communities into the outdoors through fly fishing and wingshooting,” said Orvis President Simon Perkins. “We are proud to celebrate Dominic and the work of Colorado Treks, which embodies the spirit and mission of this award.”

Based in Denver, Lucero founded Colorado Treks in 2016 to inspire life-changing confidence in indigenous and Latinx youth in Colorado through cultural experiences and outdoor education.

Lucero grew up an avid outdoors person thanks to family generational outdoor cultural practices passed on by his uncles and Grandfather. He understands the importance and need for that kind of mentorship and accessibility for under invested communities. Through partnerships with public schools in the Denver Metro Area, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and others, Colorado Treks has helped open the outdoors to more than 1,000 youth in the greater Denver area.

“I’m honored to receive this award from Orvis and excited to have their support to help introduce more kids to what I call the medicine of the mountains,” said Lucero. “Community and connection to nature and culture have the power to heal individuals and change the world.”

Lucero joins previous Breaking Barriers Awards winners, including Durrell Smith, founder of the Minority Outdoor Alliance, Tracy Nguyen-Chung of Brown Folks Fishing, and Jess Westbrook of The Mayfly Project. 

“My goal was to explore my full potential with this expedition to the South Pole. I wanted to push myself to the edge, physically and mentally, where I’ve never been on my previous polar expeditions,” shares Colliard. “Now felt like the perfect time for this challenge given my experience and endurance, combined with the impending arrival of my newborn soon. Like all my expeditions, I hope to raise awareness of protecting our polar regions and inspire concrete conservation measures.”

Colliard began his “Pas ce soir, chérie!” expedition on Dec. 20, 2023, and reached the South Pole on Jan. 11, 2024. He remained determined to complete his trek, despite the snow and white out conditions for the first half of the journey. He was inspired by the previous speed record, held by his friend Christian Eide, who skied the route solo and unsupported in 24 days, 1 hour and 23 minutes, in 2011.

“I am constantly in awe of the accomplishments of our Norrøna ambassadors and am proud to have Vincent as part of the Norrøna family,” said Jørgen Jørgensen, Norrøna’s fourth generation leader and owner. “A key aspect for our brand is to support changemakers, and Vincent continues to go above and beyond with each of his expeditions.”

Colliard was raised in the Basque region of southwestern France and currently resides in Norway his family. His extensive career ranges from mountaineering in the Himalayas to partially skiing across Patagonia’s southern icecap unsupported, and more. In 2010, he joined his childhood hero, Børge Ousland, in sailing through the Northwest Passage, navigating it in just 25 days. Colliard and Ousland were shocked by the ice retreat during their journey and soon created The Ice Legacy Project, a series of expeditions across the worlds 20 largest ice caps to document, raise awareness and inspire conservation efforts for the melting glaciers and ice fields. The two are 11 years into their 15-year-long project and continue to advocate for the protection and conservation of the wilderness.

Colliard joined the Norrøna roster of ambassadors in 2019 and used the lyngen Gore-Tex Active Jacket, lyngen alpha90 Vest, lyngen Gore-Tex Packlite Overpants and lyngen down850 Knickers during his most recent expedition.

“Our relentless pursuit of superior quality has led to the development of our 2024-2025 Fall/Winter apparel, in which we continue to push the boundaries of what’s achievable, delivering gear that not only enhances performance but also champions environmental stewardship, setting a new benchmark for responsible and high-performance products,” said Norrøna’s CEO, Jørgen Jørgensen.

“Phantom Glide Nordic is a natural evolution of Phantom Glide and incorporates all of the advantageous qualities of the original formula, while adding a performance edge at speeds that are common in human-powered Nordic skiing,” says Thomas Laakso, senior vice president at Phantom Glide. “Phantom Glide Nordic is formulated for non-gravity initiated starts and will continue to make a difference in a ski’s coefficient of gliding long after traditional waxes have worn off.”

Both Phantom Glide and Phantom Glide Nordic are made up of a patent-pending polymer technology that uses microscopic short-chain compounds to penetrate and diffuse into the unstructured sections of ski and snowboard bases. After just one application, Phantom Glide and Phantom Glide Nordic provide increased glide for the lifetime of the ski and possess no environmental harm or harm to humans. For maximum efficacy, it is recommended that customers take their skis and snowboards to an authorized Phantom Glide dealer with a UV cure station.

“With the launch of Phantom Glide Nordic and the strong momentum we’re seeing with Phantom Glide sales, we jumped at the opportunity to add two veteran sales managers to the team,” says Steve Kropf, senior vice president of sales at Phantom Glide. “Doug and Pete boast strong sales backgrounds and we’re confident in their ability to help us grow Phantom Glide sales right out of the gate.”

Primus stoves are painstakingly engineered to have accessible parts that can be easily serviced and repaired.

The videos are available at primus.us/pages/primus-service-maintainence.
