Fischer announces Wade Bishop switch from Elan to Fischer

Fischer announces Wade Bishop switch from Elan to Fischer{mosimage}Fischer Racing Director, Mike Day, has announced that Wade Bishop will now ski with Fischer skis and bindings. USST B Team member Bishop is 24 years old, and this is his third season with the national team.

Bishop was the 2003 Overall NorAm DH Champion, and runner up in the 2004 NorAm super G standings. He formally skied with Elan.

Bishop is the second ski team member to switch to Fischer mid-season this year. Last month Chip Knight ‘returned’ to Fischer.

Day was very pleased with Bishop’s decision to ski with Fischer. “I view both Knight (SL/GS) and Bishop(DH/SG/GS) switching midseason as a testament to the quality and performance of our skis and bindings across all four events,” said Day.
