Career

edit

Foser is most notable for his sole win on the Alpine skiing World Cup, achieved in the Val Gardena downhill in December 1993 from a bib number of 66 in changing conditions. This was the first World Cup downhill win for a male skier from Liechtenstein.[1] He scored two more top ten finishes on the World Cup, both in downhill - a seventh place in Aspen, Colorado in March 1994 and a fourth in the 1995 edition of the Val Gardena downhill.[2][3]
