Only company i can even think of made in switzerland is stockli? they sell like crazy in europe, maybe they are pulling a scott and signing a huge name to boost their freestyle ski sales? its a stretch, but it would make sense

Head sounds possible since Oscar Scherlin is no longer skiing for them (Volkl now) and Jon Olsson is not involed in the freeski scene as much as he used to be.
I've also heard a lot of things about Simon signing with CoreUPT but I don't think this will happen.. They already sign JF Houle and Kevin Rolland this season, adding these two guys to the rest of the impressive time, that's already such a big and expensive team to manage.
Eitherway, my guess would be Head, Kastle, Scott (since Lolo Favre is not on the team anymore) and maybe K2..

Faction Skis are based out of Switzerland. But they are a small company.

He's going to Head. I met him in austria last week with the Head team. They were filming a commericial for head. He told me and my friends that it was official that he is on the Head team. There you have it!

Haha he probably should use dynafit bindings to lock them like goji does, especially after his prerelease that left him in tears

What a coincidence. The only reason he made this move is so he can get HEAD from Lindsey…

well, at least he's got more solid bindings now. Funny that he hinted at that in that ESPN article...

"We talked to a lot of people, a lot of people had interest, and I just really wanted to make sure that I tested a lot of skis and wherever I was going to go, I was going to have the best material and the best equipment because I think that should be my main focus. I'm not worried about finances as much at this stage, I just want to make sure my skis stay on my feet and I can go to the Olympics and feel really comfortable with whatever's underneath me."

re: bindings

WTF? Salomon S916/S920 not good enough? I'd rate those higher than Head's world cup 18-20din race binding.
