Oakley Snow Park | Vassa Parken in Norway

Oakley teams up with Scandinavian Shaper Emil Fossheim

Oakley’s teamed up with the Norwegian resort ‘Vassfjellet’ and together with Scandi-shaper Emil Fossheim they’ve built a pretty sick set up in the snowpark, ‘Vassa-Parken by Oakley’. But what got the goggle guru’s into this in the first place?

“Together with high-profile shaper, Emil Fossheim, Oakley took it upon themselves to give one of Norway’s leading independent resorts the snowpark it deserved”

The resort itself has gone through some pretty turbulent times during the past years as its ownership changed. As the devoted locals became concerned about the resort’s future, they knew something had to be done. To the joy of the local community, a local ski and snowboard club joined forces about 18 months ago and bought back the resort.

Together with high-profile shaper, Emil Fossheim, Oakley took it upon themselves to give one of Norway’s leading independent resorts the snowpark it deserved. Mr Fossheim has been busy shaping since the early 2000’s and with two decades of experience, the man has learnt to shape safe kickers, something that may please the parents of the young guns.

“The partnership with Vassfjellet Vinterpark is an extension of the Oakley campaign – See It In Prizm. We saw this park as a vehicle to ignite human possibilities by removing barriers and helping people live out their obsessions. So, with the help of Emil Fossheim and other leading park shapers across the Nordics, we were able to design a freestyle terrain park that simply didn’t exist before and we’re thrilled to bring that to life for the local community.” – Ben Goss, Oakley Global Brand Director.

Oakley have invested a great deal in the park too, by manufacturing new rails and ‘Pro Line’ jumps amongst other fresh features.

If you missed the opening of the park back in February, make sure to make your way to this little gem of a resort situated a 30-min drive from Trondheim.
