Kneissl, for which Schranz has worked since he was a teenager, claims that its skis have helped capture 16 Olympic medals. It urges its salesmen to "mention our victories in your sales talks." Like its competitors, Kneissl regularly sends out talent scouts to search the mountainsides for promising 12-and 13-year-olds, whom it hires as apprentices, sends to secondary school and trains to be champion skiers...
