DIDIER CUCHE
Always a popular personality on the worldwide pro tour, and especially in his native Switzerland, Didier Cuche was all seriousness on the slopes as he earned four World Championship wins, 21 World Cup victories, 67 podium places, and an Olympic medal in an impressive 19 year pro career. Didier relied on a combination of precise technical skill and a dynamic style for his success. About his style he says, “If you compromise and keep the handbrake on, you’re not going to gain anything except experience.” Didier Cuche valued precision and style in his racing, making him the perfect KJUS partner over many years. We share those values and have relied on his expert input to create a jacket that fits the needs of any skier who loves speed the way he does.
THE SPEED LOVER THE SPEED LOVER
MEN
Men‘s Cuche Jacket This jacket wants you to take it for a high-speed run down the mountain. Then do it again and again. It loves the rush of speed as much as Didier Cuche, the World Cup champion who inspired its design. The Speed Lover offers high performance in every aspect from weather protection, to ventilation in key areas, to advanced insulation materials that release heat as needed between fast downhill runs. 4-way stretch lining and 3D mesh shoulder inserts provide a fantastic fit and allow the freedom of movement needed for split-second reactions. The fit is fully adjustable, including detachable hood and neck gaiter, for a personalized fit and streamlined feel that make this Speed Lover special. Men‘s Razor Pro Pants These Slim Fit, low-rise pants give smooth, fast skiers the competition-inspired fit and feel they love. They also match their skiing style just as well as they match the bold colors and high-performance materials of the Cuche Jacket. 4-way stretch lining moves as easily in every direction as a skilled trick skier, while zippered vents allow as much cooling air as needed as leg muscles are working harder.

Freeski World Cup champion Elias Ambühl needs “gear that is going to help me push the boundaries, that gives me the freedom I need to express myself.” As a professional freestyle skier, expressing himself meant radical moves and big air at the biggest events in the world. For a change of pace, Elias set the world record for skiing backwards, clocking over 130 kmh! Off the snow, Elias loves the rush of speed and action just as much, moving up from piloting his Ferrari while still in his teens to being a licensed helicopter pilot today.

Dominic Ebenbichler loves everything about skiing. He’s as happy in untouched deep powder or showing his amazing ability on an icy run as he is teaching in his own ski school in Austria. Students there are fortunate to be learning from a skier known for his absolutely flawless technique. At KJUS we love skiers like Dominic, who ski on all surfaces in all weather conditions. They motivate us to innovate and create ski apparel that helps dedicated skiers enjoy the sport they love. When he’s not flying downhill or navigating his way off-piste, he’s creating exciting and popular videos about skiing. Dominic may be easy to find on and around the nearby mountain of Glungezer, but he’s not easy to keep up with.

Austrian Florian Köfer comes from a small ski village at 1,875m altitude. Skiing is part of his life, and has always been part of his family’s life. As a former competitive pro, considered one of the most acrobatic skiers on the Freeride World Tour, there’s not much terrain he hasn’t mastered. What terrain does he prefer to ski on? “Actually, anywhere there’s snow”, he says simply. When he’s not keeping his own skills sharp on the snow, he’s passing on his expertise as a certified ski instructor and guide at the ski lodge he runs in the Austrian Alps. Not one to compromise on anything, Florian even operates the big grooming machine at the lodge to be sure snow conditions are exactly what dedicated skiers demand.
