From the ski racer to the developer of ski jumping technology

Peter Riedel's path into sports technology begins in the snow. In Oberwiesenthal he got up early on skis, competed in several European Cup races as an alpine racer, and later found his way to the technical side of sport through training as a carpenter, a civil engineering studies, and planning.

In 2003 a feasibility study for the Oberhof ski tunnel brought high-performance sport back into focus. A year later, Peter Riedel presented the combined summer and winter start-up track to the FIS Hill Construction Commission in Willingen. From this development, the basis for MASTERTRACK and for Peter Riedel GmbH's international work was created.
