The man with the aviators

When we pull into the car park at Linderudkollen, Tord Asle is already there. We understand that pretty quickly. His car is parked with his name written along the entire side.

Tord Asle Gjerdalen is known for his strong performances in the ski tracks, and for the aviator sunglasses that became his signature.

Tord Asle Gjerdalen has covered countless kilometres in the ski tracks. With a World Championship gold in the relay, three Marcialonga victories and a Vasaloppet win in 2021, he is one of Norway’s most accomplished long-distance skiers. Today, the experiences along the way mean just as much as the results.
