Swedish term or phrase: skidåkaranda
Vinge har haft en uttalad skidåkaranda ända sedan Vinge ”föddes” i början av 80-talet, och många av Vinges medarbetare har ett stort personligt intresse av utförsåkning.

skier('s) spirit
Explanation:
Compound - "skidåkar(e)+anda" (skier+spirit). Perhaps what is misleading here is the fact that there is another variant of the word 'anda', namely 'ande'. The form 'ande' is used especially in opposition with 'kropp' (body). The more usual of the two is 'anda'. See Svenska Akademiens Ordbok over Svenska Spraket, various editions.
