Vishnu has announced they will likey not have a presale coming. With that comes doubts of having any new Vishnu's coming in the future. This could be the end of a "Golden Era" of skiing. What do y'all think?

The Golden Era ended a long time ago brother. Maybe Wallischs hairs on his head were like grains of sand in an hourglass, slowly counting down the days until the golden era ended.

i don't support mocking the hair loss of our High King, long may he live, but that was funny
gnarley_marlI do wonder what the future of Vishnu is.
not gonna speculate too hard, but even though the economic situation seems pretty bad, considering that all skis are either built with materials from China or are made there, but Vishnu seems to have a solid customer base so I'm hopeful they'll find a way

What would motivate someone to produce skis and blow up as a totally core brand and then just suddenly exit the industry? Are the margins really that small?

This will be the hardest year for Vishnu Freeski but I hope Vishnu Items go even harder than ever before. There's more potential there than with any other ski clothing brand ever.
It would be cool if they found a way to weather this tariff storm. Perhaps they could survive if they bump their prices $200-$300? I'm sure Vishnu's following would still find a way to support, whether it's daddy's money or not.
I suppose Vishnu's situation highlights the risks of having so much China exposure. I believe Emmett did bat around the idea of moving manufacturing to UT at some point in the future, though I recognize they would still be exposed to all of the materials issues facing the rest of the industry.
