2. What do you use this boot for?: Skitouring and Freeride
3. Why do you like this boot?: You can do everything with it.
4. Why do you like being a part of the Dalbello team?: Ski boots are the elementary part between ski and foot. It must transmit finest impulses and protect the foot from enourmes forces at the same time. Dalbello has perfected this.

11. What do you do when you are not skiing?: In summer I am a hut host and mountain guide at Austria's highest mountain at 3450m (there is always enough snow). And of course I also take time for my family.
12. How do you train to keep in shape for skiing?: Actually I'm always in the mountains, the ice, rocks and on glaciers. The breaks are more important for me.
13. What can’t you live without: Without my family and friends
14. What are 3 things we should know about you?: I'm no ultra-extreme super athlete, but I can step on the gas, too. Safety is very important to me, I try to communicate this, especially to young people. I need time for myself now and then, so i go alone.
15. Most Humbling moment: A helicopter accident in 2017 in which I was involved. All 5 passengers survived, the helicopter had total damage.
16. Future Goals and Plans and Ambitions: It would be cool to climb a 7000 or 8000 meter mountain, possibly with skis.
17. How did you become involved in Ski Touring?: Through my father and friends. Many famous mountain guides live in our village and they took us as children with them.
18. What is in your pack when you go out ski touring?: The complete safety equipment, down jacket, 0,5L tea with rum, chocolate, some reserve material. For glacier and high altitude tours i add ropes, crampons and harnesses etc.
