Rely on genuine experience: customer testimonials from the racing service

“I'm really looking forward to working together and going exciting places as a team.” Eight-time overall World Cup winner Marcel Hirscher partners with WINTERSTEIGER for his VAN DEER brand, which has been using the Jupiter automated ski service machine since May 2022. The innovative V-Edge technology allows base and side edges to be precisely ground along the entire length of the ski with variable angles in the tip and tail areas. When developing the V-Edge, WINTERSTEIGER combined two elements: optimum edge grip and easy control of the ski. Marcel Hirscher: “WINTERSTEIGER is the perfect tuning partner for VAN DEER. We share the same values and aspirations.”

VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports Equipment GmbH

“WINTERSTEIGER tools and Fischer expertise create the perfect conditions for top-quality machinery.” Fischer and WINTERSTEIGER share a longstanding partnership that forms the basis for tuning skis to World Cup standards. Pairing WINTERSTEIGER tools with Fischer expertise has led to genuine innovation. The racing service department at Fischer Sports has 4 Race NCs and a Trimjet Racing for edge tuning. August Burgstaller, Head of Alpine Racing Service: “The Race NC lets us reproduce tried-and-tested base structures with absolute precision. This gives the athletes confidence and has led to a lot of wins, especially in Nordic events. We really like the precise edge angles we get with the Trimjet Racing. The disc technology delivers ultra-precise edges.”

Fischer Sports GmbH

“Innovative feed system delivers top results.” In 2017 the company added the automated Mercury L sdp to its line-up, which consisted of the Race NC racing stone grinding machine for the base and the Trimjet Racing for edges. The decision to go automated came down to an ever-increasing volume of grinding work. And given the success Head had enjoyed with the manual machines, the Mercury was an obvious choice.
