Painted fingernails and ever-changing looks, Lucas Pinheiro Braathen branches out from the conventional image of an alpine skier. Aware that his eccentric ways and extra charisma are sometimes frowned upon in a sport environment that is often conservative, the Norwegian world cup alpine ski racer purposefully wants to remove negative stigmas, remind others to have fun, and embrace difference. As a son of a Norwegian father and a Brazilian mother, his middle name ‘Pinheiro’ is Portuguese for pine tree. Paying tribute to his mother and his Brazilian heritage with his social handles, Lucas stands tall against the norm and wants to empower those who feel different, because different is cool. Suiting his ever-changing style, Lucas will be racing in his two signature series goggles: Flight Path L and Line Miner L.

Developed in conjunction with Super-G World Champion Aleksander Kilde of Norway, Flight Path L is Oakley’s next premier snow goggle that holds up to the high demands of the world’s best athletes for use on any mountain and under any conditions. The L size maximizes field-of-view at all angles, and the new Ridgelock EV lens construction leads to greater upward visibility, allowing for an unobstructed viewing area when in an aggressive skiing position.
