"If you&amp;#039;re keen on the whole extreme sports scene, you probably know Jon Olsson as the Red Bull-backed freestyle skier who took Big Air gold at the 2008 X Games in Aspen. Not ringing a bell? He&amp;#039;s also a serial supercar owner who has taken the term &amp;#039;winter mode&amp;#039; to an entirely different level. The 31-year-old Swede admits that the idea of a ski-spec exotic started as an in-joke between friends a few years back\u2014&amp;quot;How funny it would look to put on rally wheels and raise a Gallardo to make it look like a rally car?&amp;quot; Then he actually did it. These are the kind of inside jokes we like. Since 2007, Olsson has owned a string of thoroughbreds that he&amp;#039;s prepped for all-terrain duty and use on the slopes. This includes a vinyl-wrapped Murci\u00E9lago LP-670 SV with straight pipes and a blacked-out R35 (which he says hit 180 mph, even with the ski box on its roof). Don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s all about style, though. He uses them for everything from blizzard duty to the Gumball 3000\u2014Olsson says the GT-R added over 31,000 miles to its odometer in a single winter (while the camo-patterned, DMC-clad Gallardo rang up almost 25,000 the following year). Whether it&amp;#039;s a road race Bentley or a dirt-slinging rally Porsche 911, we love seeing high-end rides put to task outside of their intended element. Check out for more snaps of Jon Olsson&amp;#039;s ski-ready exotics in action. A big thanks to Oskar Bakke for the killer photos. Update:Now with a sick video of the man himself.
