Career

Mader competed in the Ski World Cup for the first time in 1982 and won a total of 14 World Cup races until his retirement in 1998. He is one of only five male ski racers who have won at least one World Cup race in every alpine discipline. In the overall World Cup ranking he came second twice and between 1989 and 1996 he was the best Austrian six times.

His first medal was silver in the world championship slalom on February 8, 1987 in Crans-Montana , where he still managed to jump from 8th place to 2nd position.

In March 1998, just 13 days after retiring from racing, he suffered a stroke that paralyzed his right side and lost 85% of his vocabulary. But he largely recovered from it. After recovering from his stroke, he wrote a book called "ÜberLeben" describing his career, stroke and work as racing director. Today Mader is head of racing at the ski company Salomon Austria.
