Then he continued to Bad Hofgastein to the ski hotel management school, where he trained as a hotel manager. In 2009 he was accepted into the squad of the ÖSV youngsters.

From December 2007 Mayrpeter took part in FIS races at the age of 15 , although he was still at the start in all disciplines at that time. In 2009 he was a participant in the European Youth Olympic Festival in Szczyrk , where he achieved fifth place in slalom . After he was accepted into the European Cup team of the ÖSV for the 2010/11 season, the first appearances in this racing series followed in January 2011. Mayrpeter began to specialize in the fast disciplines. A year later he achieved his first victory in an FIS race. Also in January 2012, he finished in the points for the first time in the European Cup races. At the 2013 Junior World Championships in Québec , he won the gold medal in the Super-G and the silver medal in the downhill.
