Blizzard

20TH CENTURY: FROM THE CARPENTER'S WORKSHOP TO THE PODIUM

Founded in 1945 by Anton Arnsteiner and based in Mittersill, Austria, the company can undoubtedly be described as one of the most successful ski brands of recent decades. In the meantime, Blizzard, still extremely successful, offers an extensive and modern range in all imaginable ski variations: Racing skis, all-mountain skis, freeride skis and touring skis. No wishes remain unfulfilled.

The history of Blizzard began with the development of the first ski models for private use by Anton Arnsteiner in his father's carpentry shop. Before expanding more and more into the area of touring and freeride skis in recent years, the company relatively quickly made a very good name for itself in the area of piste skis. As early as 1958, the first athlete on Blizzard skis won the world championship title in the triple combination. Many legendary ski racers such as Franz Klammer, Michaela Dorfmeister and Petra Kronberger, who won two Olympic gold medals in Albertville in 1992 and was the first woman ever to decide all five World Cup disciplines in her favour, were enthusiastic about Blizzard, celebrated numerous remarkable victories and made the manufacturer a ski legend known worldwide in the 1980s and 1990s.

Today, the brand is 112 years old and can look back on a long tradition and experience. But the company's philosophy has remained the same: Their goal is to get people excited about skiing, to connect them with nature and to give them the opportunity to experience adventures with the white wonder of snow. For this reason, in addition to the shoes, the brand also produces bags and trekking accessories so that you can easily take the shoes with you wherever you go.
