per our clinic with Faction ski's today, they are still produced at Amer's factory in Austria (along with the new United Shapes boards since their acquisition by Full Stack), so at least Salomon ski's are still primarily out of EU, possibly some boards, too.McK21 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 1:23 pmNot really sure about that, just my guess, but I think that the hps boards are made by Wolle himself, at least on insta he occasionaly post pictures of woodcores worked out in his small factory ( where he builds aesmo) and he eventually tags the salomon boards or sponsored riders, but maybe can be just prototype production.coleslawed wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 12:41 pm I think Salomon uses a couple different factories, I know some boards are coming out of Titan in Hong Kong, but some are still coming out of Europe, I would assume HPS are Euro-made.
what's wrong with Bulgaria?

I don't think Wolle handmakes all of the production HPS boards, most likely just the proto's.
i'm with the Erik's Bikes crew now (no more steep chat codes going out this year). keeping it local still. a bunch of coworkers moved over to Sun & Ski.C.Fuzzy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:34 amWhere you end up workin?coleslawed wrote: ↑Thu Nov 02, 2023 12:35 pmper our clinic with Faction ski's today, they are still produced at Amer's factory in Austria (along with the new United Shapes boards since their acquisition by Full Stack), so at least Salomon ski's are still primarily out of EU, possibly some boards, too.McK21 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 1:23 pm

i wish Wolle hand made the HPS line. Then i wouldn't feel quite as bad about my Ski brand love.
