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." 

That same mindset carries into the equipment he chooses. For a skier who has spent countless hours training and racing across everything from demanding long-distance courses to perfect winter tracks, comfort, precision and reliability matter. The right boot becomes an important part of that experience—something that should support the skier without getting in the way.

ALFA’s ski boots are designed with exactly that philosophy in mind: dependable performance, a precise fit and the comfort needed for long days on snow. Whether you’re chasing a result, exploring a new trail or simply enjoying one of those perfect winter mornings, the right boot helps you stay focused on what matters—the skiing.

For Gjerdalen, that is ultimately what keeps him coming back. Not just the victories, but the feeling of moving well on skis, making progress and enjoying the journey.
