this industry is in bed with one another like its a bad episode of jerry springer...

jarden owns: k2, line, full tilt, ride, planet earth, 10% of rossignol

amer owns: salomon, bonfire, atomic, arcteryx, suunto

quiksilver owns: quik obvi, gnu, libtech, dc, roxy, used to own rossi...

tecnica owns: tecnica, nordica, blizzard, nitro snowboards and more

rossi owns: rossi, look, dynastar, probably some more im forgetting

and that's just ownership...

production overlaps are even crazier

I'm 95% sure Surfaces are made over seas. they are based out of SLC, but actual production is done in China I think.

I think Armada and Atomic are made in the same spot.. they have the exact same construction with that cap and sidewall hybrid.

I thought Ninthwards were made in the Elan factory.

Most of 4FRNT's skis are manufactured oversea's, with the exception being I believe the Renegades which are hand crafted in SL,UT.

Pretttttty much.

I was going to say some of that myself. Also most of the little independent guys rely on big companies to actually manufacture their skis. Exceptions: ON3P, 4Frnt Renegades, (surface???)

4Frnt Skis are made by Elan in Slovenia except for Renegades which we lovingly hand craft in SLC

and then we get into bindings.... oh lawd

Bindings are actually pretty simple though; they are the same binding as made by the bigger brands, just sold to the smaller companies and have that companies name stamped on them. Like CoreUpts bindings are just rossi/dynastar bindings with CoreUpt printed on the side instead of rossi or dynastar

Same with Tyrolia and 4Frnt
