Erik Mobärg

Erik Mobärg (born 23 June 1997) is a Swedish freestyle skier who competes in ski cross. He represented Sweden at the 2018, 2022, and 2026 Winter Olympics.

Early life Erik was born in Undersåker at the foot of the mountain. With easy access to Åre and the big mountains, it was obvious that skiing would become a big part of his life. With a lot of snow each winter and ten pairs of skis/snowboards, the choice was easy. Before ski cross became a great part of Erik's life, he devoted himself to football, gymnastics, cross-country skiing, and alpine skiing.

Erik's younger brother, David, is also a ski cross athlete on the same level. Erik explains that they can push each other as they both train and compete with each other. Their little sister, Linnea, is also a freestyle skier competing in ski cross. Erik's parents have always been supportive of him.

Professional career Erik has been skiing his whole life but did not specify any special event until the age of 16 when he attended a Swedish ski high school (Åre Skidgymnasium). His experience playing football, gymnastics, cross country, free skiing, and jibbing as well as skateboarding and biking in the summer contributed to his skiing foundation.

Erik is competing for Edsåsdalens SLK as of 2016 and the European national team. Erik attends Åre High School, which is one of the most prestigious skiing high schools in Sweden.

Endorsement Erik has his own sponsor that is Elan Skiis. Through the Swedish national team, he is also sponsored by GoodYear, Bliz, Bra, Sätila, Tenzon, Idrefjäll, and Sportringen.

He uses a lot of different brands for competition and training. He usually trains and competes with Elan skis, Head boots, Tenzon clothing, Hestra gloves, Bliz goggles, Helmet, and Swix poles.

Competitions Erik mostly trains in Åre and Edsåsdalen. At camp, he trains a lot in Idre and Hemavan. His favorite park is Bräcke in Åre, and his favorite ski cross course is in Val Thorens, France.

He won the Swedish Cup in 2015 by a substantial margin (700 points) above Alexander Lindquist (465 points). Consequently, he had the opportunity to represent Sweden in his first World Cup at home in Åre in February 2015. Erik has many positive memories of his skiing career, including when he came 4th in a European Cup, and when he raced his first World Cup. He will always remember his first gold at a FIS competition.
