Ester Ledecka Leaves Atomic For Kastle

Ester Ladecka has switched from Atomic to Kastle. In a statement she said:

After 11 years of cooperation with the @atomicski , I’ve decided to change the ski team. I closed another chapter of my life and it was not easy at all.

I will never forget the first time I was invited to the factory in Altenmarkt im Pongau and with my mouth open I looked at the photos of skiers that hung on the walls everywhere.
Even back then, I already dreamed that among all the ski legends, who conquered the world, one day my picture with the Atomic skis above my head would be framed there as well.

Christian Hoeflehner noticed what I was doing when I was 16 years old and supported my skiing even though he knew that half of my heart would always beat for snowboarding. Basically, he believed that I could ski also :) Christian, thank you!

I was always determined to do my best not to disappoint Atomic and worked on myself and my skiing self :) Thank you Andy, Joe, Hans and Philip for looking after me and my material.

Thanks to all the great people that I had had the good luck to meet and work with at Atomic I am who I am and I am where I am. I appreciate you, I appreciate your professionalism and friendship, which had always been a driving force for me and a reason to keep improving and proved to the world that your bet on a crazy snowboarder was the right choice :)

I enjoyed surprising the sports world together with you, and especially thanks to you, I became a skier despite everything and everyone!

Every time I stood next to @marcel__hirscher , @mikaelashiffrin , @iamsofiagoggia , and other brilliant skiers at the Atomic media days, I was in shock by their presence and at the same time proud of what the Atomic team and I accomplished together.

It was an honor to be a factory rider for a brand that works with the best of the best.

RED STR will forever be in my DNA
