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 VAN DEER GS WORLD CUP 25 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 FIS compliant 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.

At 98 mm underfoot it’s sized for maximum versatility, with an impressive performance in a variety of conditions: floaty in powder, grippy on hardpacked snow, super maneuverable in the trees, and stable at speeds. Featuring a tip & tail rocker 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 ski has the potential of being your 1-ski quiver.
