Does anyone know where I could find stats on twin tip sales since the 1080 came out? I'm making an infographic for school. Thanks!

I may be mistaken, but i seriously doubt that there are statistics on twin tip sales in circulation unless there's been previous research done. Companies usually keep sales figured private unless your an investor. good look with finding that shit though

That's what I was thinking too, but it looks like they probably do keep all that stuff secret like someone else said. I've been searching all afternoon and can't find anything.

There is deff something on the internet about it. When i worked in the industry i was always told the new statistic something like twin tip sales are up 10% again...if you cant find anything online i would go to the best twin tip shop in your area and ask the manager there they will know where to find such stats on ski sales.

I know it has been increasing every year.

Ive read stats in magazines so im sure you can find some. It'll prob end up being an estimate or something. Try asking your shop just generally. Don't ask for exact numbers then what ever they say, im gunna guess "weve definitley sold alot more in the past 4 years" then make up your own numbers. What id do. But good luck.

You're going to struggle to find year on year data regarding unit sales of skis, let alone a concise break down on the sales of specific categories of skis.

If you can somehow get hold of an analyst's report on a company that owns a ski manufacturer, e.g. Amer sports which owns the likes of Salomon and Atomic (who in turn make skis for other companies like Armada) then you'll be set.

However, these reports are hard to come by. If you've got the time and are prepared to tough it out then you might want to try a focused search using Baidu, China's version of Google. Baidu seems a lot less fussed about intellectual property rights and will occasionally give you access to locally hosted copies of such reports...for free (definitely a plus unless you've got a few grand or more burning a hole in your pocket).

Otherwise...I seem to remember reading an article including a lot of data supplied by someone at Atomic. From memory, it has global ski and snowboard sales for a few seasons, the relative proportion of ski and snowboard sales by continent and the season when twin tip ski over took all other types of ski in retail sales in the US (2007 if my memory serves me correctly).

Good luck.

This is a tough project. I would start on snowsports.org and see how many years back you can go. Then I would call them and see if they can help you out. I know you can buy the annual report at a student discount, but it will still be pricey and even then... you just have one year. Good luck.

From an old abc skier magazine two four volume ten issue one (number of twin tip skis sold winter 2009-2010 in north America 72,129. alpine skis in NA 595,653) not sure if that's skis total or pairs of skis. Good luck bro
