1985

Dachstein reaches the zenith of its popularity, and in Austria 90% of the population are familiar with the brand. Dachstein is the most successful ski boot brand at the Ski World Championship in Bormio.

A revolutionary innovation changes the entire ski boot market, as the rear of the boot now folds back to allow skiers to climb in far more comfortably, without reducing the secure fit of the fastened boot.
