Best Selling Skis by Year

[Wilhelmson]

With all the doting over the M5 this year and less stellar opinions over black pearl, it might be interesting to see the evolution of skis by best sellers and msrp. Has user friendly performance always been a big seller or are skis getting softer over the years?

Black Pearl has been like the best selling women's ski for several years. Maybe it's run it's course? Even the Rossi 4sk stopped sometime.
The M5 reviews have been negative to mixed to neutral to positive. The Mantra you're talking?

Since sales official numbers are rarely reported, we can just really go by claims...and with those claims, how many that are refuted? Will the Black Pearl be unseated? I have yet to see hardly any "less than stellar" opinions about the Black Pearl, at least not as many as I have seen about the M5. How many of the M5 sales go into last season because if it's early introduction? When tecnically is the selling year? Where does the Head Kore 93 fit in, a ski that seems to be sold out as soon as retailers opened their doors back at the beginning of the season? What about skis like the Nordica Enforcer 100, Salomon QST99 fit into the mix? This is a game of marketing poker and some manufacturers choose not to show their hands and some will bluff and are never called on.

The Black Pearls was the best selling ski in the market, men or women for several years.
