14/02/2014
Outdoor brand Bergans of Norway has added top 10-ranked freeride skier Lorraine Huber to its list of product testers.

Ms Huber joins 21 athletes - including polar explorers, climbers, alpinists and paddlers – who test products for the Norwegian company.  

"She is both qualified and experienced, and an innovative and expansive thinker. These are qualities we value at Bergans. We are really looking forward to tapping into her experience and knowledge," said Rune Dokken, Bergans sponsorship manager.

Ms Huber arranges ski camps for girl freeriders, holds lectures, organises film festivals and has a column about life as a freerider in the German freeride magazine Bergstolz.

Bergans was established in 1908 and is headquartered in Hokksund, 60km southwest of Oslo, where 90-plus employees work in development, research, design and sales.
