Rossi doesnt own Line. Line is owned by K2 Sports which is owned by Jarden which owns Full Tilt, BCA, Volkl, Marker, Etc. Rossignol was owned by Quicksilver until 2008 and i believe is now owned by Altor. Altor also owns Helly Hanson.

In less than 15 words you managed to prove that you're not only an idiot, but an asshole as well. Quite impressive.

How can someone with so many posts think that rossi owns lines skis? Maybe if by saying "owns" you mean rossignol skis are made in france by people who have actually seen snow and make solid gear while line skis are made in a shitty factory in china by children who have never seen snow in their life pumping out crap for the K2 brand. Hopefully you were referring to the fact that rossignol owns line and a metaphorical sense.

Also There is no way a ski made in china e.g. Line is at all comparable to something made in japan that last forever e.g. A Toyota.
