Might be worth a position..
"This strong sales growth was achieved even with weak sales in large ticket ski items as a result of warm winter. Sales however were helped by an early spring, increasing sales in the climbing lighting, and packs segments. Even though the company saw benefits in some segments from the weather, overall the company believes a colder winter driving ski sales into March would have been ideal.
Black Diamond will also be launching an apparel segment in fall of 2013. The company believes apparel could bring in $250 million in revenue by 2020.
The company's products are currently carried in about 4,700 stores worldwide and outdoor retailers have seen tremendous growth, for example REI has increased store count by 80% over the past six years."
