Måns Schøning Lie

Måns has a bachelor's degree in outdoor life, cultural and nature guidance from USN. He is also an educated teacher, and finds it rewarding to use his skills in the outdoors to teach others.

Måns is an instructor in kayaking and canoeing, NF rafting instructor 1 and has specialized in winter outdoor life and accident management at the university. He is also alpine instructor 2 through DNS. Måns is generally fond of all outdoor activities, but he has an extra connection to ski touring in the winter and activities on the water - such as kayaking, canoeing and pack rafting. When he is not at work as a guide or a school teacher, Måns spends as much time as possible outdoors with various activities to maintain and increase his own competence, and in that way lay the foundation for future tour and course participants to have as good an experience as possible.
