Juho Saastamoinen
Biography
Juho Saastamoinen was nine years old when he landed his first backflip on skis, a moment that sparked everything that followed. Once he realised what was possible on skis, he went all in. Now riding on the biggest stages in freestyle skiing, Juho is known for a fearless approach and a mindset he sums up as “f*ck around and find out.” From local Finnish hills to X Games podiums and events like Swatch Nines, his focus stays the same: trust the process, commit fully, and keep pushing.
“When I realised that with skis the sky is the limit, that’s when it really took off for me.”– Juho Saastamoinen
