Biography

Together with Kristian Ghedina, Peter Runggaldier, Werner Perathoner and Alessandro Fattori, he helped to bring out Italian Alpine skiing, traditionally more competitive in technical specialties, even in downhill and super-giant races. The Italian speed team, nicknamed Italjet,[3] succeeded in the nineties in expressing itself at the high levels of the well-known Austrian and Swiss national teams.
