All 9s are made in Slovenia at the Elan factory.

Their finish and quality are top-notch.  As with any park ski, if you hit rails with them, they will fail eventually.  Their big mountain and pow skis are excellent.  The bases aren't super fast, but they've got a pretty good grind and they're very durable.  The topsheets will chip just as much as any other sidewall ski if you smack them together, but they don't flake off like some skis.

I'm not going to comment on their pricing or their team or the ownership.  But their skis are awesome.

I stand corrected.

I can no longer comment on the quality of these skis.  But the older ones were great.
