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.
