I just want to know where people stand with the ski companies over all value(Salomon, Rossi, Dyanstar, Line, Armada, k2, head, volkl, anyone else you feel needs to be in this ranking) . Rank ski companies in 2 groups, first by overall sales(how many twintips by that company you see on the hill) and secondly by image(basically how cool you think the company is). Just wondering where people stand. Also any input what exactly you think makes a ski comany cool can be sent to intern2@dynastar.net no idea is too small to mention.

No one where I live has the concepts and I think they're a sick ski. I would ski them If I could find them. Every ski shop that I look doesn't have them. everyone has lines and I'm not a big fan of lines (no affeance to anyone who rides lines) I wish I could get a pair of concepts

at my hill it goes:
Salomon
Line
then probably rossignol

as far as company rank id have to say Line is definately number one, for riders by riders, they know whats up, can you cant beat that. I bet armadas gonna take off once they launch their skis too.

sales:
1. salomon
2. rossignol
3. line
image:
1. line - rider owned and operated, true twin, best graphics, amazing warrenty.
2. K2 - with the P.E. and the Seth Pistol, K2 reaffirms its position in newschool by listening to riders, and helping to shape the new image of skiing through graphics and marketing.
3. Armada - rider owned, amazing team... too bad we don't know much about the skis yet, but these guys know how to create a buzz.

by the way, none of this would affect what skis i choose to ride... i'm getting mad trix, not because they are cool or because they are popular, but because they are sick skis.

On the hill - Salomon (everyone has 1080s), Line, Dynastar, Rossi, K2, Head, Volkl, nobody has Armadas.

Image - I think the rider based companies are good, i just dont think i would buy line skis. I like all the skis that dynastar puts out (i ski candides so im biased). Rossi's Scratch, from what i hear is a great ski. K2 helped their image a lot with the PE and the Seth Pistol but i havent seen anyone riding them. Volkl makes good skis as does head, but nobody is really hyped up about them like they are for the Armadas or PEs.

on the hill

- Line first and foremost, all the groms have a pair of 153s, or ghetto blasters, some kids have darksides.... the second seller is salomon, you see alot of the new spaceframs skis...161's, 171's but nothin over that.... i never see volkls or rossies or armadas, i ride the concepts from last year, and im the only dude on them.. or any dynastars for that matter

Image - i think that dynastar has a good image, and i will support them cause i think they make really sick all around skis, with sick graphics, and they have the gnarliest team... then K2, Rossie, Line, Salomon... salomon makes really good shit, and i really really like there boards, but, there image is one of global domination and not caring about the individual...

Generally the only twins you see on the mountains are Salomon 1080s, K2 Enemy and head madtrix. Anything else on the feet of anyone other than a sponsered pro is very rare. Just telling it how it is.

Fair comment, somehow rossi skipped my mind for a bit (waaay too much skunk), def more BC than FS, tho in trois valles see lots of telemarkers on FS. Where you ride in France? Dynastar still rare tho

Skis in general, the most are elans(rentals)I think I see more teneighties on the hill, than other twin tips, though I have seen a few more people skiing the enemy.
# OF SKIS
1 solomon
2 k2
3 line
4 rossi
5 dynastar
6 atomic
7 fischer
8 head

the rider based companies hold a lot of cred around here it seems. though I would buy a ski first and foremost on the value of the ski. will it last a season at least? cost? how does it ski?
