That's interesting... Twintip ski says went way up but snowboard sales went negative, guess that proves something about skiing vs snowboarding popularity

3% is not that much. In fact the 3% decline by volume in snowboard sales would represent a decrease of about 29% in twin-tip skis, by volume.


The reports of sales:

By state:


By state per capita:


By region:

Look at the numbers.

Snowboarding still kicked the shit out of skiing. Newschool got more popular from an equipment standpoint. It did not come anywhere near surpassing snowboarding.

Who cares.
