Viking Ground Crew

Björgvin grew up skiing the Troll Peninsula in his hometown of Dalvík, where he still lives with his wife and three sons. A former Olympic skier and Junior World Champion, he has over 30 Icelandic Championship titles to his name.

As Viking’s Operations Manager from its founding in 2013 until 2022, Björgvin helped shape the company from the ground up. Now, returning in 2026 with fresh drive, he’s bringing Viking back to its roots. Guests know him not only for his expertise on the mountain, but also for his ability to create genuine connections and unforgettable days in the mountains.

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.

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.
