Mixed doubles career
In mixed doubles, Skaslien and partner Magnus Nedregotten have represented Norway at 9 world mixed doubles curling championships. They represented Norway in the mixed doubles tournament at the 2018 Winter Olympics. They lost the bronze medal game against the Olympic Athletes from Russia, but due to a positive testing of meldonium from Alexander Krushelnitskiy, their bronze medals were stripped and given to Nedregotten and Skaslien.[4]
Skaslien and Nedregotten won the second leg and Grand Final of the 2018–19 Curling World Cup, defeating Switzerland's Jenny Perret and Martin Rios in the final of the second leg and Canada's Laura Walker and Kirk Muyres in the grand final. In the first leg, Skaslien was paired with Sander Rølvåg but missed the final and was paired with Thomas Ulsrud in the third leg, where she lost in the final to Canada's Kadriana Sahaidak and Colton Lott.
Skaslien and Nedregotten would again find success at the 2021 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, finishing in second place, losing to Scotland's Jennifer Dodds and Bruce Mouat 9–7 in the final. This result would directly qualify them for the 2022 Winter Olympics. At the Olympics, Skaslien and Nedregotten would improve on their performance at the 2018 Olympics, this time winning silver, losing 8–5 to Italy's Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaner in the final. Skaslien and Nedregotten would again medal at the 2024 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, winning a bronze medal. This result would also qualify them to represent Norway for the third consecutive Olympics at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
