The skier is quite unique, and was rediscovered in 2001. Carved images of skiers have only been found at a few locations around the world. The person on ski is not facing the fjord but is on his or her way upward and inland. The skier appears to be pursuing two animals, probably moose.

The skier is a contour carving of a person, 1.45 m tall, with skis and a staff. The figure is clearly carrying a slightly curved staff, just over a meter in length, in his forward-facing hand. The ski itself is 1.22 m long and up to 0.14 m wide. The ski binding is intricately carved and appears to be wrapped around the foot and fastened in several places. The person is bent forward, giving the impression of forward movement. 

For the Sami, skiing was an important means of transport in winter. They were used for hunting, transport, visits and as part of the reindeer herding. Skis were never complete until ornamentations, meant to help the owner reach their destination, had been applied.
