This Norwegian Pro Team consists of eight upcoming and promising skiers who want to show their team's colors this winter. Team Naeringsbanken Stora Enso secured the 7th position in the Pro Team ranking during Season XV and aims higher in the upcoming winter season.
Team Naeringsbanken Stora Enso is based in the Sjusjoen and Lillehammer area, where conditions are perfect for year-round training.
The Pro Team has been in the top 10 in Ski Classics for the last 6 years, and for the Season XVI counts on local power with eight Norwegian athletes, four women and five men: Marie Renee Sorum Gangso (1994), Thea Snortheimsmoen (2001), Hanna Sandholt Hansen (2001), Haakon Fossum Holden (1993), Henrik Arntzen Joks (1999), Henning Lie (1990), Ole Eirik Fuglehaug Ekrem (1995), and Sivert Halfdan Bergan (1995).
"Team Naeringsbanken Stora Enso is located near Lillehammer and Sjusjoen and has been in the top 10 in Ski Classics for the last 6 years," says Pro Team Director Arnt Nyborg.
Reflecting on the upcoming season, the Pro Team Director says: "The best athletes are Haakon Holden, Marie Renee Gangso and new signing Henning Lie. Hanna Sandholt Hansen, a new signing, and Thea Snortheimsmoen have ambitions to fight for the Youth bib. Henrik Arntzen is still a Youth athlete, while Ole Eirik Fuglehaug Ekrem and Sivert Bergan are veterans in Ski Classis, even though they are only 29 years old."
