DÆHLIE BEYOND: Together for the Sport

Cross-country skiing is more than podiums – it’s about community, effort, and passion that transcends borders and brings people together across nations and cultures. With the BEYOND campaign, DÆHLIE aims to inspire and support everyone who loves the sport, regardless of where they come from or their goals.

Since 1996, DÆHLIE has worked closely with athletes to develop innovative products capable of withstanding the toughest conditions. Now, we’re taking the next step: cheering for everyone, building community, and fostering a greater passion for cross-country skiing. We believe in a sport that goes beyond medals, beyond nations – a sport that inspires and unites us all.

Meet our athletes

Astrid Øyre Slind

Known as one of the former queens of long-distance skiing, Astrid Øyre Slind has dominated the Ski Classics circuit with her exceptional endurance and strong double poling technique.

She has had an increased focus on the FIS World Cup for the last seasons, with exceptional development to make herself a regular contender in the top 5 in the World Cup, and she has already had multiple World Cup victories in this year’s season.

Astrid has grown up at Oppdal but now lives in Trondheim and works closely with the Team Aker Dæhlie coach, Chris Jespersen.

Andrew Musgrave

A well-known British skier, Andrew “Muzzy” Musgrave combines Scottish grit with Norwegian precision in his training. A consistent World Cup contender, Andrew’s performances inspire a growing skiing community in the UK.

Andrew Musgrave is the first British skier to achieve podium finishes in World Cup cross-country skiing events, breaking new ground for British athletes in a sport traditionally dominated by Nordic countries.

Irineu Altimiras

Ireneu Altimiras from Andorra showcases the competitive edge of smaller skiing nations. His determination makes him a key athlete on the team and the circuit.

Ireneu is living and training in the Pyrenees, giving him an edge in tough high-altitude races and on the tough courses.

Patricia Eiduka

Latvia’s cross-country skiing sensation, Patricia Eiduka, is a rising star on the international stage and has already competed as one of the best U23 skiers on the circuit. She’s setting new benchmarks for Latvian skiing and is an incredible inspiration both for us as well as the young Latvian skiers.

Patricia became the first Latvian to finish in the top 10 at the World Cup, putting her country firmly on the skiing map, and did you know that a documentary about Patricija was shown at the Latvian cinemas last year?

One team achieving together

Team Aker Dæhlie is the first private team to include athletes from Ski Classics, all-rounds, para, and young athletes. The team aims to communicate that they are in a new position within professional cross-country skiing, with a focus on equality, diversity, and inclusion through the concept of Beyond.

The team will lead the way and achieve good results in various areas in addition to the sport itself. One sport includes and inspires effort. We are proud to be part of this journey.
