Where do you live? Where do you come from?
HALLVARD FOLKEDAL
Right now i live in Bergen, Norway, a city located in the western part of Norway, not to far away from the mountains. I come from a little island called Karmøy, with almost no winter, so i have spent a lot of time in the family cabin, located in the mountains around Røldal. This place has almost been a second home during my childhood.
MAJESTY
Favorite mountains.
HALLVARD FOLKEDAL
Growing up spending a lot of time in the mountains around Røldal, i have fallen completely in love with the mountains over there. It has playful terrain, steep faces and a lot of snow, even in the summer!

HALLVARD FOLKEDAL
Since i live in Bergen, i have easy access to several resorts, and my favourites are Voss and Eikedalen. Both resorts have great freeride areas and offers a lot of fun riding even on the icy days.
MAJESTY
Your first experience with skis.
HALLVARD FOLKEDAL
I cannot really remember my first experience with skiing, since it is something I have always done. Skiing has always been an activity my family has been doing, and my older brother has always pushed and inspired me to excel in my skiing.
MAJESTY
Your favorite sports/hobby/activities
HALLVARD FOLKEDAL
Apart from skiing I love doing pretty much every outdoor activity there is, whether its mountainbiking, running or hiking. During downdays I also enjoy playing music and singing.

Why Majesty?
HALLVARD FOLKEDAL
Majesty Skis is the kind of ski brand that is not afraid to try out new ideas, in order to make the best skis possible for skiers like me. I really like the fact that Majesty is a smaller company than the giants, that puts quality ahead of constant growth.
MAJESTY
For how long are you with Majesty?
HALLVARD FOLKEDAL
This is my fifth year skiing on the Majesty planks, and it has been a pleasure all the way! It is great being part of a team where people care about each other, and are good at what they do.
MAJESTY

HALLVARD FOLKEDAL
Competitionwise I don’t have many results that I am proud of, but I got to show the Norwegian people a lot of my skiing through a television series some years back.
MAJESTY
What do you want to achieve with Majesty?
