History[]
Svensson is a handsome Swedish ski instructor working at the Green Fern Ski Resort in Colorado, where he first meets Jem after The Misfits attack her with snowballs. Svensson steps in and saves Jem momentarily from their antics. Jem shows her appreciation, and Rio's jealousy kicks in, forcing the two men to compete for her attention during the rest of their time at the resort. During their stay, Jem and The Holograms find themselves in trouble on some sabotaged ski lifts, and Rio risks his life in an attempt to rescue them by climbing the ropes holding the lifts up. Svensson takes a more practical approach by using his helicopter to rescue the girls and Rio. Svensson is aware of his own talents at skiing, with Kimber describing him as a hunk. When plans are revealed to put Rick Franklin's lodge out of business, Rio and Svensson manage to overcome their rivalry, working together to save the resort.
