SANDRA LAHNSTEINER-WAGNER

PROFILE
Year of Birth: 1980 (haha, seriously - we need to communicate that THAT
prominent?)
EVOC ATHLETE since: 2017 (I think)
At home in: Gastein (Salzburgerland, Austria)
Discipline: Freeride (+ Ski Touring / Ski mountaineering)
Biggest achievements: My biggest achievements include producing the first-ever all-girls film, As W Are, in 2010, founding Shades of Winter in 2013, and creating 10 films since—ranging from ski action to mountain documentaries. I’m proud to host annual freeride and ski touring camps for women and have been nominated multiple times for ‘Best Female Freeride Performance’. Above all, everything I do as a skier, filmmaker, ski guide or entrepreneur is rooted in my deep love for skiing. I think that’s a big win. I get to work on skis in various ways.

QUICK QUESTIONS:
5 PERSONAL ANSWERS
Skiing under northern lights in the Lyngen Alps.
I truely love being out in the mountains and skiing is my absolut favorite ever. Freeriding for me is the purest way of skiing. I love to challenge myself on big mountain lines and mountains just as much as I absolutely enjoy these cruising powder days with friends.
That’s a tricky question – I feel blessed to have skied on six continents, and each trip has been unforgettable. I’d love to revisit them all, just as much as I love riding at home in Gastein. But one destination that’s still on my list and I haven’t skied yet is Greenland. I’d love to explore its untouched landscapes on skis.
