Ski star Marcel Hirscher has often proven in the past that he has many talents. In addition to his success on the slopes and as an entrepreneur, the 35-year-old has now shown that he can also get stuck in.

To kick off the construction of the new ski factory for Marcel Hirscher and Red Bull in Salzburg's Lammertal valley, the star simply climbed into the excavator himself. "He wrote "Work in progress" under a photo gallery on Instagram showing him excavating.

Hirscher's ski production facility "Van Deer" is to be given a new location in Scheffau. The new production facility is to be built on the site of a gravel pit in the Lammertal valley. Until now, the "Van Deer" skis have been produced in Stuhlfelden.

Hirscher is also due to make his comeback to the Ski World Cup soon. "I retired five years ago, now I'm 35 years old. That's also how I see my comeback: Above all, I want to have the opportunity to compete again, simply because I enjoy it. I have an excellent relationship with the ÖSV and am grateful for everything we have achieved. This new project is best realized as a Dutchman," Hirscher told the Dutch Ski Association NSkiV.
