Van Deer Ski

Van Deer is Marcel Hirscher's ski brand, created together with Van Dee-Red Bull Sports.

• 
  The name: "Van Deer" translates to "from the deer," a nod to Hirscher.
• 
  Production: built in Pinzgau in Stuhlfelden, and since autumn 2025 also in the new factory in Scheffau at the Tennengebirge. So, made in Salzburg.
• 
  Race DNA: The skis are developed using the same expertise as Hirscher's World Cup equipment. Innovations from racing are passed directly on to the production models.

At Sport am Jet, either in our online shop or in-store!

• 
  In the shop: new Van Deer skis and used models from our test and rental fleet.
• 
  Advice: Van Deer skis are built stiff. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether the ski suits your level and ski boots.
• 
  Online: If you prefer to buy Van Deer skis online, you can find our selection at www.sportamjet.shop
  

We prepare the binding, and you do the rest on site.

• 
  Sole length: We set the binding to your sole length before shipping. The measurement in millimeters is located on the side of your ski boot at the heel.
• 
  DIN setting: We are not allowed to set this before shipping.
• 
  Final adjustment: at your local ski shop or free of charge with us in Flachau.

The construction of all models is uncompromisingly designed for edge grip and smooth running.

• 
  Wooden core: depending on the model, ash-poplar or poplar-beech. Provides stability and lively flex.
• 
  Double Titanal: two layers of metal ensure direct power transfer and stability at speed.
• 
  Sandwich construction with ABS side walls: solid pressure on the edge, even on hard snow and ice.
• 
  Race base: P-Tex Race Base for good glide.
• 
  Ride feel: like riding on rails when you put the ski on edge.

Every ski receives a Race Room base preparation at the factory, according to Fischer's World Cup standard.

• 
  Model-specific: The edges and base are tailored to the respective model.
• 
  Reproducible: Every pair leaves the factory with the same tuning.
• 
  For you: The ski grips from the very first turn, just as intended.

At Van Deer, every ski length has its own shape and radius. Example H-Power 68:

• 
  147 and 154 cm: 10 m
• 
  161 cm: 10.5 m
• 
  168 cm: 13 m
• 
  175 cm: 16 m
• 
  182 cm: 19 m

What this means for you: Shorter, the H-Power 68 becomes a snappy slalom carver; longer, a stable giant slalom ski. Length therefore also determines the character.

  Marker Comp 13 FDT GW: on the H-Power 78 and 89. FDT means the binding is adjusted to your sole length without drilling; the ski flexes freely through.

• 
  Marker Comp 12 GW: on the PRO.
• 
  GW: compatible with alpine and GripWalk soles.

  The number: maximum release value (Z-value). 12 to 13 is designed for sporty skiers.

Honestly: probably not.

• 
  Made for: advanced to very good skiers.
• 
  Why: double Titanal and a lot of pre-bend require active skiing.
• 
  Good news: The H-Power 78 with tip rocker is the most accessible Van Deer. If you can carve cleanly and want to take the next step, it's a good fit.

Van Deer makes all models unisex, so they are suitable for both women and men.

• 
  Short lengths: The H-Power 68 is available from 147 cm.
• 
  Unique radius for each length: Even the short skis don't feel like shortened men's skis.
• 
  Models in stock: can be found using the "Women" filter.

Length

• One ski length is approximately from the chest to the nose.
• At Van Deer, the length also changes the radius, so it is best to choose together with us.

Radius

• Under 14 m: short, snappy turns.
• 14 to 17 m: the all-rounder for the slopes.
• From 18 m: long, fast carving turns.

Waist width

• 66 to 68 mm: quick from edge to edge, clear for the slopes.
• 78 mm: slopes and also off-piste.
• 89 to 98 mm: more float in soft snow and off-piste.

New Van Deer Skis

• fresh base with factory tuning from the factory
• in the exact length and with the binding you want

Used Van Deer Skis

• a real tip, because new Van Deer skis are at the top end of the price range
• wooden core and double Titanal last a long time; a well-maintained ski rides almost like new.
• come from our test and rental fleet
• serviced on the Montana grinder, binding checked with the Jetbond alignment machine according to ISO standards
• For the ski, you can see the number of days spent on-piste and how many customers have skied it; the price is based on that.

For both: Ski check and binding adjustment are free of charge with us in Flachau.
