funny this came up. we had been talking about this for a while now, the more companies the better in my mind, but alot of the companies mentioned were so anti skiing in the beginning that i find it hard that they truly want to jump on the band wagon, other than for money. now that skiing can prove that it can sustain a independent market other companies want in too. i feel,my opinion, that driving smaller companies to success is the way to force our sport to the top of the genre, it is our sport and we(that means you!!!)should decide what is cool not companies that hated on skiing for so long, peace campbell
