I think that ski companies become big once they branch out of skiing or the freestyle community ex) is still consider saga small and armada

Tell that to mogul skiers...Hart is one of the best selling mogul skis out there. The reason they're small is because they're kinda niche (not only that, but arguably a dying niche aspect of the sport).


I agree with ON3P...but pretty much everyone on here knows about them..but I'm super stoked on their products.

yup...and a good park ski, and a few good pow skis...they're not as niche as Hart which means they have a larger target audience and can grow (with some time and help promoting).

This is stupid. So what, when they get big you'll say "screw you guys for being a big, heartless corporation"? You should decide what company to buy from based on their products, and the company's integrity and vision for our sport. Don't get me wrong, I love buying from small companies such as Phar North, EC Headwear, etc, but I think a more appropriate title for this thread would be "Lets help small companies"

I've been skiing on some High Society Classics this season and I love them. Such an awesome ski for a small ski company. Try a pair if you get a chance.

I'm stoked on small companies building up their reputations, that being said while it is awesome to support small companies, everyone makes incredibly different skis, supporting a small company shouldn't be the deciding factor in purchasing skis. in terms of clothing it is awesome to buy from young emerging businesses if you like the product. My 2 cents.

Lib-Techs skis fall apart real fast though, the edges chip really easily and the top sheet peels, they could have changed that up a bit but that was a case with last years lineup

I like that Luke put down www.pandapoles.com Also, a huge reason I buy from small companies is that they focus on quality and transparency of production process.

I've been watching these guys closely since the start (I remember seeing Kimmerle on their Protos thinking that even those looked like a fun ski) and I'm pretty stoked on where they're going and the riders they have on their roster. I'm hoping to try out a pair sometime this season.
