The ski co's compound the problem by changing the top sheets every year so last years skis automatically sell for a 50% discount vs this years ski, and every retailer puts them on sale in February.


And then further drive down the real market price by dumping remaining inventory on the web.
And then the proverbial question arises.  How much does it really cost to make a ski?  And who is getting squeezed and bearing the most risk, the manufacturer or the retailer?
