Former ski racer Maria Pietilä Holmner was caught in Hurricane Ingunn while walking with her little daughter.
Are – Ski racer Maria Pietilä Holmner, who ended her active career in 2018, lives with her husband Hans Olsson in Are, Sweden, and enjoys nature there.
In March 2023, the couple had a daughter, with whom they travel a lot.
The trips with the stroller in Sweden are sometimes quite adventurous, as a snapshot by Maria Pietilä Holmner shows.

The Swede shared a photo on her Instagram account in which she can be seen with her daughter in a stroller - in the middle of a hurricane.
“Hold on to your hats, Ingunn offers action,” she wrote underneath.
The photographer was husband Hans Olsson, who immediately commented on the post: “Behind every extraordinary winter picture in nature there is the father of a small child freezing his hands off.
Do not forget that."
Ingunn, as the hurricane was named, swept across Scandinavia in the past few days.
With strong gusts, it covered roofs and tore down power lines as it moved north.
Air and ferry traffic was suspended.
On the Norwegian island of Soemma, the meteorological institute recorded a record wind speed of 195.8 kilometers per hour.

However, the hurricane was not as strong in Sweden as in Norway, so Maria Pietilä Holmner and her family's winter walk was not a problem.
Maria Pietilä Holmner had a successful career
The 38-year-old is used to lots of snow thanks to her long career.
She made her debut in the World Cup in 2002 and was an integral part of the Swedish alpine team from the 2004/05 season.
Little by little, the technology specialist managed to rise to the top of the world.
At the 2007 World Championships in Are she won her first medal at a major event with silver in the giant slalom.
