Landrigan spent the past five years at Yakima as their Lead Brand and Training Rep, prior to that he coordinated marketing for Bern Helmets.

Further marketing support for Fischer alpine initiatives will be supported by US Alpine Product Manager, Mike Hattrup, nordic marketing support will include efforts from nordic promotions specialist, Rick Halling and press outreach will continue through Andrew Gardner and Press Forward PR. With the season fully underway, Fischer continues to focus on dealer fulfillment, upcoming shows, and the continued growth of its brand in the US.
