k2 are made in china and line will also be made in china. Pretty much everything is made in china. If a machine is pretty much doing everything, what does it matter if its a chinese dude or a mexican. the important thing is that the materials that the product is made with is of quality.
thats why a shirt (quiksilver for example) costs more than an average shirt from wallmart made also in china. (yes, part of the price is because of the brand, but a good % is because of the higher quality materials).
The reason people manufactor in China is because the workhand is is leagaly cheaper. And of course they also have quantity and speed in mind, what big company dosen't? It would be pointless for 4frnt to make stuff in china, because they would make way more than they could sell at the moment, but Volkl is a big company that sells skis all over the world and needs mass production to keep up. If they made them the same way a small company does they would make less money and in the buissnes world-money is everything.
and if "made in china"="gay", well lets just say we have gay stuff. the computer you are reading this off of is also most likely made in china
