VAN DEER: WHEN PERFECTION BECOMES OBSESSION MAGICAL THINGS ARISE

The story of Marcel Hirscher is unique. For 15 years, the Salzburg native skied at the highest level, fundamentally changing the world of ski racing. With his extraordinary talent, physical fitness, technique, racing intelligence and training methodology, he has set new standards. But what really set him apart from all other athletes was his professional, uncompromising approach to his setup.

Marcel was obsessed with tinkering with his equipment and tweaking every little screw - often driving the people around him crazy. But the ability to turn his intuition and his outstanding feeling for the snow and the equipment into innovation has made him one of the most successful skiers of all time.

Thanks in part to the support of his longtime partner Red Bull, Marcel has achieved everything there is to achieve in alpine skiing. And so it is no coincidence that this close collaboration has resulted in a shared vision. As an innovative ski manufacturer, VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports is ushering in a new era to take skiing to the next level with bundled know-how, an uncompromising winning mentality and an absolute drive for perfection. Not only on the race track, but also in Marcel's new favorite playground: the backcountry and big mountain.

Developed and approved by none less than Marcel Hirscher, the GS WORLD CUP 30 is ready to dominate Giant Slalom races at the highest level. Infused with 31 GS World Cup victories, 6 GS globes, and 2 GS gold medals, this premium GS ski allows you to nail your winning line, no matter the course and conditions. It features an ash/poplar wood core with double Titanal and Carbon layers, creating rock-solid stability and powerful acceleration out of every turn. Full-length ABS sidewalls and race edges provide incredible edge hold; while a P-Tex race base combined with Marcel’s genuine Race Room finish (plus a few other magic ingredients he rather keeps to himself) will keep your time in the green when you cross the finish line.

The 18 PRO XS has everything you need to bring out the racer in you: precise edge grip, great stability, powerful acceleration, and top speed to rip the turns on-piste or between the gates. This premium high-performance ski is constructed and handmade in Austria from the same first-class materials as our World Cup skis. The only difference: It comes with a wider geometry and a smaller 18 m radius (at 164 cm), making it suitable and fun to ski for pros obsessing over hundredths of a second and ambitious piste skiers alike. And we can ensure you it has passed the hardest test of all: Marcel Hirscher developed and personally approved the 18 PRO XS and made sure it got a professional manual Race Room tuning so you can ski your best from start to finish.

The FREERIDE 98 is an all-terrain freeride ski that has got range. Ready to take you from corduroy to deep in the backcountry, this is one of Marcel Hirscher’s favorite picks. At 98 mm underfoot it’s sized for maximum versatility, with an impressive yet playful performance in a variety of conditions: floaty in powder, grippy on hardpacked snow, very maneuverable in the trees, and stable at speeds. Featuring a good amount of tip & tail rocker for that surfy feel on storm days, the FREERIDE 98 is built on the same construction as its bigger brother, the FREERIDE 108, including a poplar wood core, double Titanal and Carbon laminates, full ABS sidewalls, race edges, and a P-Tex race base. Add to that Marcel’s high-end Race Room finish and some other magic touches he won’t talk about and this is your ski for inbounds hike-to terrain as well as deeper days out-of-bounds.

The FREE TOUR 88 is an incredibly lightweight, super versatile Carbon-powered ski made for alpine touring. At 88 mm underfoot it’s well-balanced between uphill ease and downhill performance. Thanks to its ultralight Paulownia wood core reinforced with Titanal and Carbon layers it weighs just over 1.000 grams, allowing you to climb efficiently. It’s still extremely smooth, grippy, and stable on the descent and floaty in powder. That’s kind of unique for an all-round touring ski of that weight, but not too surprising, considering that the FREE TOUR 88 has been developed and approved by Marcel Hirscher, who would never compromise on skiability. Whether you're tackling an alpine crossing or the local hill, this touring ski is ready for some serious human-powered vertical meters.
