Herbert Marxer

A former member of the Liechstenstein ski team and Olympian who raced downhill at the 1972 Sapporo Olympics, Herbert also had an engineering degree and was a highly knowledgeable boot technician.

He was hired as product and racing services manager by Jean-Pierre Kratzer and stayed with the company until Dynastar took over the distribution for Lange product. Heavily involved with product development, but lacking the political skills necessary to navigate a deeply fractured organization, Marxer had developed a mid-entry boot that never was given a fair chance.

After leaving the company, Herbert Marxer parlayed his experience with the brand and became the Dynastar-Lange distributor for Switzerland. Today, still active in the industry, he owns and distribute Hammer skis and snowboards.
