THE NEW GENERATION SKIS

Marcel Hirscher’s story is one-of a-kind. Competing at the highest level for 15 years, he profoundly changed the world of ski racing by setting new standards with his exceptional talent, technical skills, race intelligence, training methods, and physical fitness. What really set him apart from everybody else, though, was his professional, no-compromise approach to his equipment.

Marcel’s obsession for tinkering and fiddling with things and his perfectionism often drove people mad. But his ability to translate his intuition and extraordinary feeling for both snow and gear into innovation have made him one of the most successful alpine skiers of all time.

For Marcel it has been a life-long dream to found his own ski company. So once he quit ski racing it was the logical next step because, honestly, who would know better about building awesome skis than the best skier of our time? Now he can finally pass on all his experience and expertise and do things the VAN DEER way, not just on the racecourse, but also in his new favorite playgrounds: backcountry and big mountain.
