Kristofferson Photographed on Marker Comps

[Snuckerpooks]

Saw this photo on social media.

Henrik Kristofferson... but look (pun intended) at the bindings. Those are for sure not Look bindings from Rossignol. Nor are they his signature green.

Was it Marcel Hirscher who had a special contract clause to use the Marker Comps? May we see another with Henrik? Hopefully Solden will give us an answer.

These bindings seem to be preferred by a lot of ski racers. Both professionally and on the amateur side. It still amazes me how these bindings seem sought after in the 2nd hand market.

Good scoop. Love my Marker Comp 20’s. Still have some unopened boxes with those ready to go.

Yup the old 20 & 30 Comps are a great binding. (notice these guys are not using the new X comp or the Xcel) . I cant make out what the plate is though

Has anyone heard if HK re-signed with Rossignol? Contract expired after this past season.
Hard to believe I missed this news - but wanted to ask.

 

[Snuckerpooks]

Haven't heard anything and his twitter has been pretty quiet.

I can't say anything for certain. But he's on Rossignols in that pic. One would think he'd be trying out other skis if he was switching. My guess is he stays.

There was a comment on the Van Deer IG feed from someone who had an athlete on the snow at the same time as Raposo. The athlete claimed that HK was seen on Van Deer product.

Take it for what it's worth. No hard evidence, just word of mouth from the feed.

I sure can be wrong about this, but I somehow think Van Deer doesn't have neither product nor money that Kristofferson would be at least slightly interested in. Also Hirscher himself just laughed when he was asked about possibility to have Kristofferson on Van Deer during one of interviews less then 2 months ago. At that time, after pretty hard laughter he said that he doesn't see any realistic chance this will ever happen. But then again, who knows. But personally I would dare to bet, Kristofferson is staying on Rossi.
PS: That "athlete on snow at same time as Raposo" could very well be Haugan that was announced today as new skiers on Van Deer.... same suite same helmet, so pretty easy to mix him with Kristofferson.

I doubt any real contender is going with Croc/ Augment/ VD with their lackluster track record of supplying even recitational skiers.

Seems like you were correct aha

Henrik Kristofferson Leaving Rossignol ... Joining Van Deer?

“It has been one hell of a ride.” – Henrik Kristoffersen Many would consider this an understatement from Henrik Kristoffersen, who has announced that he will be parting ways with Rossignol. In Kristoffersen’s 18 years as a Rossignol athlete, Kristoffersen has won two Olympic medals and stood...
