Hans von Bliesen is a ski coach and photographer who draws inspiration from Candide Thovex when he’s ripping the steep slopes of Vermont. He likes long walks in the mountains and has an extensive knowledge of skis and the ski industry. He views his ski boots as his most important piece of gear and puts over 100 days per year on them. Learning to ski in Wintergreen, Virginia, Hans has a unique perspective on the sport of skiing and we are stoked to have him test some skis for us.
