Anyone have access to that information (*cough* sia report?)... or an educated guess???

Including offline for sure, online as well if the info is there. And for US and/or Canada... basically any insight is appreciated.

The # actually produced in the U.S. is pretty low, LibTech is really the only major one, then you have moment, on3p, etc. A couple board companies too.

wrong thread? I believe this info is actually on sia's website in one of the available documents. let me do a quick search and I'll get back to you. I look at my market intel report and didn't see those stats.

Check these reports out: http://www.snowsports.org/SuppliersServiceProviders/ResearchSurveys/RetailTRAKExecutiveMarketSummary/

Download the one called: March 2011: Executive Market Summary

The market is split by Chain, Specialty, and Internet retailers. On page 20 it will tell you the sample size and how they created the report, I think it will give you some of the info you are looking for.

These are excellent reports to use for school. I used them all the time for paper's and project during undergrad and grad school.

They are free to everyone too, taken right off of www.snowsports.org. Hope this helps.
