We'd hardly call the Lamborghini Gallardo –or any exotic supercar for that matter- the most appropriate type of vehicle for skiers travelling from one ski resort to the other, but professional freeskier and alpine ski racer Jon Olson strongly disagrees. The 29 year-old Swede has made a habit of using Lamborghinis as his personal vehicles for driving to various ski events across Europe. He first did it with a Murcielago LP670 Superveloce that he equipped with a ski-box, but once he laid eyes on the new Aventador, he sold the limited edition and ordered the new Lambo. The problem was that the Aventador has a long waiting list so he decided to buy a…Gallardo LP560 as his temporary daily drive.
Not the one to wait, Olson ordered a custom made ski box that is approved for use at speeds of up to 255km/h (159mph). He then sent the car to Lambo specialist DMC that made some styling changes and to Autostripe that covered the Gallardo in a cammo wrap.
