Hot Dog Hans is the “bad boy” of skiing. Once a legend of the sport, his successes in the freestyle skiing world have since been wiped off the history books, removed from the eyes of both the children and the elderly. But those of us that remember him remember him well, and nothing will make us forget him.
The legendary skier is back, this time causing problems in Switzerland. Working in association with Swatch NINES and Völkl Skis, Hans is here to prove once again that he’s the best of the best, despite his age.
“Time to uncork some of that ’80s top shelf in the Swiss Alps. Hans didn’t come for warm-up laps. With Volkl Skis strapped and Swatch Nines on deck, he’s here to prove that style doesn’t age.“
If you’re confused for whatever reason, Hot Dog Hans is sadly just a character created and portrayed by the incredible Alex Ferreira. Nonetheless, he’s real to me.
