27 years old born in Levi, Finland, Joona Kangas is a true wizard on the snow. Joona started skiing at the age of 2 years old and got his first pair of K2 Juvie twin tips at the age of 8 years old and was instantly hooked. He had what he called his "national team phase," in the beginning but soon found out his passion for film skiing. Currently he loves riding all terrain but finds that soft snow is calling his name.
In most recent times he was featured as the opener in "Keesh 3," a film composed by the Keesh Crew. He said that this project was very meaningful and this is undoubtably showcased throughout the film.
We asked what Joona was excited for this season and what his plans were for the winter and this is what he had to say...
"I'm looking forward to skiing a lot of pow and getting flowy in the backcountry this winter. K2 asked me to go on a trip to Japan at the start of January, which was a dream come true. Japan has been on my bucket list for a long time and I'm stoked to experience it with this crew."
