.....It's a boot company, who cares, no boot company has an "image" of anything past their target market (racing, touring, freeride). You can't say anyone "fits" with a boot company, it makes no sense.

How does that make sense in anyway, Volkl and Dalbello are not connected in any way.

dalbello and full tilt are very similar. dalbello makes boots with the intuition liner which is what makes fulltilts so "special". Also, it's not like he rides out of the box boots. No pros do.

not true..
like I said pros boots are not out of the box boots. If they ride for the company, they're getting their boots so they fit them. Like how Henrik switched from spks to full tilts. do you think he had a really thin foot so he switched over? Nope, Chuck Testa

Loving them already, just to correct a few things dalbello is associated with volkl in europe, the U.S. is different, so my move to Dalbello didnt have anything to do with being on Volkl. They have ill boots, an awesome team, and are supporting me, so all is good!

Nah Technica is with Blizzard now. This is the first I am hearing of dalbello and Volkl being linked, last I checked the only relation with Dalbello was Elan after Dolomite phased out.

wrong wrong wrong. One large company DOES own all of these yes, but k2 has nothing to do with it. Asked the regional rep about this 2 weeks ago.

Said corporation owns k2 on its left hand, and on its right is volkl,marker,dalbello (not technica as said before). Its more of a sibling, not an ownership.

Cant remember the name of the corporation for my life though.

I just looked up this Dalbello / Volkl relationship and what I found was they are only connected through distribution, Dalbello is still it's own entity. At least that's what I found.

It may be, I just know the rep here does all three (they probably have the same distributor as you said), and his tent and other stuff had all three on them, could just be custom made. I was mostly referring to the guy saying that K2 owned them though, which is way wrong.

from what I've heard yes, something like this. If a company sponsors you, they want you using their newest coolest looking boot so they will make it fit you so you can wear it. Like how some skiers use skis with different topsheets so people think they're using one ski when they're really using another

Völkl, Marker, K2, Line and Full Tilt are owned by Jarden Corp.

Dalbello is not.

Dalbelllo is currently distributed with Marker/Volkl in few countries, but the US is not one of them.

Dalbello has a great team, and we're stoked to work with many of them.

Ahmet is the man. Stay tuned for cool news from him, and us, in 2012.

He announced it on his facebook page yesterday

Full Tilt does not pay their athletes. They just give them free boots. Only Seth Morrison and Tom Wallisch are paid because of their pro model boots. Dalbello is prolly tossing him a lil bit of loot.
