Giray Dadali spent his whole life in the shadow if his older brother, pro skier Ahmet Dadali. While working to create a name for himself in the ski world, Giray realized he already had a name that everyone knew, Ahmet’s Brother. Fast forward to today and Giray has had 3 signature Ahmet’s Brother Pro Model Skis and has finally stepped out from his brother’s shadow, kind of. On top of all that, Giray is a schooled engineer who created and is currently selling the often sold out Daymaker Touring System. His story is awesome and his experience, totally different than his brothers.
