Viking Ground Crew

Hailing from Slovakia, Sara brought her passion for snowboarding to Iceland, where she’s been living for the past six years. She has been a part of our team since 2022. Since childhood, she has loved snowboarding, and after years of freestyle, she also discovered the beauty of freeriding. Sara studied diplomacy and politics, but soon after university, her career took an exciting turn toward marketing and freestyle snowboard events organizing. With over a decade of experience in these fields, we are fortunate to have her as our operations manager. Sara’s attention to detail ensures the smooth operation of every aspect, both on and off-season, making her an invaluable asset to our team. 

Sara loves spending her free time with her daughter, hitting the slopes snowboarding with friends and staying active. Her wittiness and occasional partying add a vibrant touch to her well-rounded personality. 

Meet Lena, our great and dedicated Guests Service Manager. Originally from Germany, Lena describes her apartment there as more of a pitstop, as she prefers traveling the world year-round. Lena is a passionate snowboarder, and she seizes every opportunity to trade her office chair for a helicopter seat. With a background in event management, she ensures everything runs smoothly during the season with our guests. 

Ross is our Ground Manager. He goes above and beyond to make sure that everything on the ground runs smoothly. Ross is the person who gets things done, whether it’s repairing cars, refueling helicopters, organizing bowsers, anything broken will be fixed, and we love him for his kindness. Originally from the Czech Republic, he has lived in Iceland, on and off for about eight years. His love for hiking, parachuting, ski touring, and heliskiing reveals a deep connection to nature.

Not only does Pavel help with everything around the ground before, during and after the season, but he is also a great photographer, and his main role at Viking Heliskiing is being an awesome dispatch during the season. And he does it great! Pavel has lived in Iceland for many years and loves splitboarding, climbing and photography.

Lucie takes care of everything happening in our base – Clubhouse. Making sure our guests and team won’t stay hungry during the day, mixing the best cocktails on the bar during the aprés ski, and making herself the DJ of the day. While guests are out skiing, she likes to go for ski tours or cross-country skis, and of course, she never says no to an empty spot in the helicopter. With her not-disappearing smile and personality, Lucie is a great part of our team.

Born and raised in Ólafsfjörður, Iceland, Maggi is our dream team driver that makes sure our guests are picked up at the airport and that they don’t miss their flights home. In his free time, you will find him riding mountains on his snowmobile or playing football with his youngest daughter.
