VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports debuted in Japan in the 2024-2025 season through Niigata Prefecture's Kleb Sports. The skis were developed by legendary world champion Marcel Hirscher, who has won eight World Cup titles, seven World Championships, and two Olympic gold medals. The fact that Hirscher is returning to FIS Alpine racing this season has created a buzz in the ski world
This winter, the "PREMIUM TEST RIDE" will be held at three locations, allowing visitors to test ride the new 2025-2026 VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports models. The highlight will be the VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports "PRO BOOTS," ski boots packed with Marcel's ultimate attention to detail, just like his skis! We'd love to test ride a VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports setup
