k2, line, probably a lot more companies than you realize, and i'm sure all of the companies that don't make their products in china, probably order some of their materials from there

yeah, they transferred all their manufacturing to china about four years ago. They're still based out of Vancouver, WA though.

yep. they located on Vashon Island. super small island that you would never ever expect a ski company come from. they mass produce in china but they still do some skis still in the vashon factory just for new ski designs that they might only make like 2 skis of.
