"It was magical for me to experience how new connections and relations are so naturally built when you share such a deep passion with the people around you. I feel so fueled and deeply inspired by the views of new and old friends who came together in Levi." -Katrine Munkholm, Danish Interski Demo Team member "Representing an non-alpine country, it is an honor to be able to meet and share knowledge with colleagues at the Interski Congress. The Finnish culture and the proximity of mother nature guaranteed an inclusive, creative and even spiritual vibe that brought all of us close to each other as individuals, as national teams and as an international community. Interski gave us a huge amount of food for thought and perfect peace for the soul. Euphoria for the whole week in Levi! We are still in a state of flow that will remain with us for a long time." -Peter Dalos, Team Leader Hungarian Interski Demo Team
