Over the last month or so I've been looking at different snowskate companies inventory. I have a sneaking suspicion that snowskating is starting to hit a faster growth curve. There have been several companies that have sold out or have their inventory already spoken for. Most likely, these folks made the same amount as last year assuming they would eventually sell out, but not right away. See note from FPS from November:
This is a good thing. It also opens the door for the newer, less established companies with inventory to get their product out. And different strategies. For instance, Ralston Snowskates has decided just to sell subs and trucks. Not a bad idea, right? There are some great skateboards out there that could easily be used. And you get the fit you want.
Meanwhile, we in the PacNW are getting epic powder. Many of my friends have been getting it and I'll be doing the same over the Holiday break.
