Episode 45

Dark Starts backcountry splitboarding podcast presents Erika Vikander splitboarder and Freeride World Tour snowboarder.

  • Competed in Slopestyle where she participated and made the podium at the highest level of contests such as The Dew Tour, Grand Prix, Burton US Open and even the Sochi Olympic qualifiers.
  • After recovering from knee surgery, Erika competed at the Subaru Freeride Series and took 2nd place and was nominated as the Audi Female Rookie of the Year. Last season she was ranked 3rd Overall in the World!
  • She is sponsored by eco-friendly companies such as Niche Snowboards and Picture Clothing.

Erika is one hard-working and humble individual! Hearing her talk about how snowboarding was there for her during challenges in life was an inspiration. When she’s not competing all around the world, you can find her shredding Mt. Hood. With a passion to be eco-friendly, she shares how her sponsors are using recycled materials to transform the production of snowboarding equipment as well as healthy backcountry snack options. We were inspired - thanks Erika!
