I'm sorry, in what way? It's actually a lack of margin on the product versus poor construction as you so assume. The Fujative is not meant to reap large bennefits for us, it is meant to provide the best product for it's intended useage at a very very competitive price range. Very simple actually.
so if the 2006-2007 model is coming out now, does the 2007-2008 model come out next september-ish or at SIA 2006? Wouldn't that make this Fujative a 2005-2006 mid-season release? What about the 2010-2011 Fujative? How about the arehtatygsaghraksghkalsjfdl.hasjfshdacx;vkjslfajdslfj confused by the ridiculous release dates...brain can't compute....blowing up....nooooowwww
Seriously, can you at least stick to a somewhat legit release schedule? Please? What happens to all your dealers who have what are now considered "last year's" fujatives up on the wall? I guess they'll have to mark them down bigtime..Shitty for your dealers!
Mid-season releases are about the manufacturer gaining market share (making money, which is what they are supposed to do). It's a marketing thing. Think about it ... these skis *mainly* target the younger crowd where having the latest and greatest is a must. So they can get a pair of skis that someone on the hill already has or the new hotness. If it comes down to whether to get the 05/06 or 06/07 Fujatives, I'd say 95% of people are willing to pay the extra $30 for the 06/07s.
I have been riding the same pair of 04/05 Fujatives for 2 years now and they are durable as hell and they do what they are advertised to do well ... PARK ONLY. For the money you can't beat them. The low cost enables more kids to get into park skiing, which is what we want.
