most of the indies like On3p, moment, icelantic, praxis, folsom, etc are producing in small factories or sharing production (like icelantic pressing at Never Summer) most don't produce a large amount and sell out of thier most popular skis early. For instance Icelantic was selling out of the nomads and Moment was out of their Night trains and bibbys. Some have become very good at limiting production to keep prices up.  If they don't produce anything good, they won't last (under the best of situations). I still think many underestimate the impact of them on sales and consumer preferences- hard to argue they are not market influencers to the big guys.
