FF Rollerskis: A Norwegian Innovation Journey [2024]
From Gaustablikk to a World-Leading Roller Ski Manufacturer
The story of FF Rollerskis is a tale of Norwegian innovation that began at Gaustablikk in 2012. A chance meeting with an old pair of Atomic skate skis began this journey. This encounter transformed the entire roller ski industry.
The Discovery That Changed Everything
