The first twin-tip ski was the Olin Mark IV Comp introduced in 1974. The first company to successfully market a twin-tip ski was Salomon Group, with their 1080 ski in 1997

Search "Jason levinthal" He had the first patent for twin tips. He was a big part of modern skiing as he started LINE skis and full tilt boots in his parent's garage in the 1990's.
