what's wrong with Bulgaria?

Not 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.

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.

I don't think Wolle handmakes all of the production HPS boards, most likely just the proto's.

Where you end up workin?

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