i know what some dude says on a lift isnt that much proof at all but its the same as what your pullin outta yer ass
and again i never said i believed him i was just asking if anyone else heard so stop puttin words in ma mouth

yes i do, i work for a rep of rossignol, their shit is just getting better. everyones going out to europe for 4 days for the 100th anniversary party. i just specifically asked him and there is no instability at all. this fischer guy might have gotten screwed up a bit with the fact that rossignol is really pushing the snowboard division but they are still maintaining their ski division just as hard. they are trying to get into the snowboard market more and to do that they are making a magnetraction snowboard which will be john jacksons pro model and picked up wyatt caldwell. thats the only thing i can think of that he might have confused himself with unless he was just talking shit like my boss does about others all the time

All I have to say is they better not!!! a decade in the buisness, what was this guy on, I think it should be outlawed. I want ROSSi to stay until I die atleast! My first skies were rossi, now I have shiny Srcatch FS WRS so they better not go out of buisiness

Dude, Rossignol -owned by quicksilver- makes more money off skis than any other company.

if rossi goes out then who will make dynastars
but basicaly the guy you talked to was a fucking idiot, and i question why you even belived him.

A quick look at the US Securities and Exchange Commission Website, at the latest company report Quiksilver had to file, tells us that Rossignol plus other wintersports brands (inc. Dynastar, Look, Lange and Lib Tech) made up 21% of Quiksilver's 2006 revenue.

How much is that? Well Quiksilver's revenue for 06 was $2,362,288,000.

That means if Rossi, being the biggest 'wintersports' brand, provided about half the wintersports total, lets say 10% of revenue (as much as DC shoes actually), then they made about $230,000,000 for Quiksilver last year...

ROSSI SKIS AIN"T GOING NOWHERE

Rossignol sells 2 million skis per year. That's about 10x more than K2 and probably 1000x more than Armada.

Rossignol sells more skis than any other company out there and by a large margin.

The latest Scratch FS is one of the best skis ever made, it's retardedly cheap, and it's sold out and back ordered everywhere. Quiksilver knows whats up.

Quiksilver was thinking about putting all of dynastar and rossignol together as one company, consolodating, and selling Langes name to someone else

Guys dont listen to the people saying Rossi is alive. Collin Wright does not ride for them anymore so pretty much they got nothin left to do but sell their company and invest in real estate

haha, this thread makes me laugh. rossi is a multi million dollar company that controlls a large share og the skiing market. if anything fischer will go under before them. there also owned by quicksilver. which will make them not fail.
