WELCOME BENDIK OYE TO THE LINE SKIS PRO TEAM
You’ve probably seen him tearing it up on rails with his LINE skis over the past few years! Maybe you caught him in some of the LINE Traveling Circus episodes shot in Norway, maybe you remember him from way back in the day, maybe you’ve seen him flipping onto a rail on Instagram, or maybe he’s totally new to you.
This is definitely a story with a twist. When Bendik landed his first (and at that point, let’s be honest, not entirely deserved) sponsorship deal with his local sports shop, the choice was easy. He picked up a pair of LINE Invaders, followed the next year by the iconic LINE Afterbang. As time went on, that deal with the local shop evolved into contracts with other brands, kicking off a decade-long journey as a skier sponsored by a lineup of different ski companies.
A few years back, Bendik decided to take on a “grown-up job” at LINE/K2 in Norway, thinking skiing would now become just a weekend hobby. And for that first winter, it did. But that all changed when he got an unexpected invite to join the LINE team trip to Crans-Montana that spring. The plan was to be there to learn the ropes of how LINE worked internationally and to build job contacts. But after just a few days on the slopes, his role quickly flipped, and Bendik found himself in front of the camera more than behind the scenes for the rest of the trip. That’s when he officially joined the LINE athlete team, all while continuing his work with LINE/K2 in Norway.
By the fall of 2023, Bendik decided to leave his job at LINE/K2, choosing instead to freelance and carve out more time for skiing and other ski-related projects. Yet, he kept his collaboration with LINE alive, both as an athlete and through various work partnerships. And now, as we head into fall 2024, we’re proud to say Bendik has truly come back home. Home to where it all started. With his versatile freestyle skills, unique style, and culture-building spirit, veteran Bendik Øye is officially stepping into his first season as a PRO for LINE Skis!

WELCOME ANOUK ANDRASKA TO THE LINE SKIS PRO TEAM
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been following in the footsteps of my older brother, always looking up to him as my biggest role model. When he started freeskiing a few years ago, I knew right away that I had to give it a try. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the creativity and endless possibilities the sport offered. By the end of my first season, I was already competing in contests and I loved every second of it. From that moment on, there was no doubt in my mind: I wanted to become a professional freeskier. Since then, I’ve earned second place twice in the European Cup overall standings and have stepped onto the European Cup podium several times.
This season, I’m fully focused on the World Cup, determined to make my mark and establish myself at that level. My ultimate goal for the upcoming season is to compete in the 2025 World Championships in St. Moritz, in my home country. It’s a dream I’m working hard to make a reality. Alongside this, I’m skiing as much as possible and making sure to enjoy every second of it, because it’s my true passion.
What I really love about LINE Skis is the creativity as well as the shape of the skis. I ride the LINE TW Pro, and they’re the perfect blend of performance and personality. The design is not only sleek but functional, giving me the confidence to push my limits whether I’m hitting big jumps or cruising on rails.
