Genuine Guide Gear

Hemsedal, Norway

Jørgen is an internationally certified UIAGM/IFMGA mountain guide. He lives in the mountain village of Hemsedal, Norway, with his girlfriend Ellen and son Snorre Magnus. In Hemsedal he runs his own guide company called "Fjellet kaller" (translates to "the mountain calls"). When not guiding, Jørgen works as an industrial climber on oil rigs in the North Sea.
Skiing is Jørgens greatest passion and he has competed in several freeskiing competitions, earning a mongst other, a second place in Norways bigges frreriding contest (Røldal Freeride Challenge). Steep back country skiing, however, is his favorite skiing discipline and he has numerous first descents in different mountain ranges in Norway.
Skiing has also brought Jørgen twice to the Himalayas for ski expeditions. In 2005 he and his long time ski partner Fredrik Ericsson skied on the steep and very beautiful Laila Peak (6050m) and from the top of Gasherbrum 2 (8035m) in Pakistan. He returned to the Himalayas with Fredrik in 2008 attempting to ski Kangchenjunga (8586m). Due to rough conditions they did not reach the top, but skied from 7000m. 
When not skiing, Jørgen climbs year around. He is currently making an ice climbing guidebook for the Hemsedal region.

G3 skis and bindings are great and their avalanche gear is world class. Yet I would like to applaude the G3 skin trimmer tool. When I guide backcountry skiing tours quite often the guests have new skins or trouble with their skins. With the trim tool it takes me less than a minute to fix things up. People are always impressed when I pull the trim tool out of my backpack.
