Sandra – Ski-Lover & Good Vibes
Sandra feels at home on skis – preferably with a smile on her face. She loves the freedom of fresh air, untouched slopes, and moving through nature. Her warm, joyful energy not only fuels her outdoor adventures but also brings true good vibes to the POP EYES community.
Her go-to favorites: the JAMIE Promo ski goggles and the FRIEDA and MARLA sunglasses – top performance, cool design, and a perfect fit. What makes POP EYES so special to her? The spirit behind the slogan: “Designed with love and passion in the Austrian Alps.” – and that’s exactly how the gear feels.
Her most emotional moment: standing on the summit of the Wildspitze with her partner Patrick – pure mountain joy.
Her daily ritual: espresso in bed – best enjoyed together.
Her dream: a home of her own – and discovering more of the world, one adventure at a time.
Moments in motion.
