Taking a close look at a lot of skis, it is often impossible to learn where they are made. Indie brands (ski marketing companies not ski makers) are often guilty of this. I don’t really care where they were produced, but it seems that efforts are often being made to keep it a secret. Ski makers should be very clear on where their skis are made and not hide behind “designed in” crapola, and certainly don’t put the Austrian schwarz adler on a ski made elsewhere. That’s deceptive and dishonest, and shows your lack of conviction in your product. Be straight with your customers. My Ukrainian made Fischer Ranger 98’s were great. My wife’s Bulgarian made Atomic Cloud 9’s (with Romanian made Atomic bindings) are terrific.
