Stian Hagen grew up in Oslo, Norway, and skiing has been a part of his life since he could walk. At the age of eighteen, he moved to Chamonix and quickly ticked off the classic extreme skiing lines, including the Mallory route on the north face of Aiguille du Midi, the Couturier Couloire on Aiguille du Vert, and the East face of Matterhorn, just to name a few. Stian competed in the Freeride World Tour for a few years before deciding to put all his energy into filming.
