Great support
Lower Austrian family as Feurstein fans
Skiing is only of interest in western Austria? Nonsense! Brigitte Ernst and her family are the best proof that the "Brettl-Artisten" still generate enthusiasm throughout Austria. The Lower Austrian has now even set up an Instagram fan page for Ländle ace Lukas Feurstein and will soon be at the World Cup.
"There's no way Lukas doesn't have a fan club yet," said Brigitte Ernst when she asked her dad Patrick Feurstein about this via Instagram. "He's such an excellent skier and such a likeable guy, we have to support him. He really deserves it."
Active support from Lower Austria
As Brigitte lives with her family in Großengersdorf, a town in Lower Austria ten kilometers north of Vienna, the support is initially being provided online. "We set up an Instagram fan page for Lukas in January," says Brigitte, who has now infected not only her family but also her professional environment at the "Goldenes Kreuz" private clinic in Vienna with the "Feurstein virus". "It's unbelievable how much encouragement and feedback we've already received on our Instagram page."
Before the home World Championships in Saalbach, she sent a support package to Lukas, for which the 23-year-old from Mellau thanked her with a cap, chocolate and autograph cards. And with "Lucky" the mouse, a fan club mascot has already been created. "If someone else could be found now, I'd be there immediately if a fan club was founded," says Brigitte.
"Kitzbühel is already booked"
Regardless of this, she, her husband and son Tobias are certain that they want to support Lukas on site soon. "We've already booked accommodation for the 2026 Hahnenkamm Races in Kitzbühel," reveals the ski enthusiast from Lower Austria. "We're also thinking about taking part in the season opener in Sölden." And then there's another highlight in the coming season: the Olympics! "If Luki makes it to the races in Cortina, that would of course also be a great thing," laughs Brigitte.
