I buy skis based on the criteria for which I'm looking at the time which includes, in no particular order- dimensions, length, weight, price, wood core etc. Whatever best fits the criteria at the time gets the purchase.

Mine are of northern NH hickory barrel stave vintage.I think that is still US.
So I guess I would be 2/3 Austrian and 1/3 American....

Mostly K2 and Dynastar so I guess I'm a French-American. Oui oui! Also skied on Volkls and Blizzards so I guess I'm part German and Austrian too.
Well, most boots are at least designed in Italy...where they are made is a different story...

I have one of each. Does that make me a mutt?
Well, here is the second question...the thrust of the article I read was that nationality makes a difference...such as Austrian skis are peppier, but require a precise skier. Swiss skis are just expensive and smooth. American skis are soft and easy going. Do you find this to be the case?
If you're Marc it may be! :lol:

Hmm, seems other than Riverc0il, I'm the only one with Skis aus Deutschland, gebildet von Volkl.
I skied on Head and Rossignol from '79- w/some Atomics thrown in there, and every kind of boot known to man, from 60's kids wee leather boots, to the salomon rear-entry slop machines of the 80's.
I do think, that other than race skis, rossignol tends to make very light/flexible skis these days, which is a serious change from the mid-line rossi's of the late 70's and 80's.
Auf Wiedersehen!

I ski Rossis so I guess I'm French. What's so French about Rossis? Well, I guess they're like a weekend in Paris -- memorable but downright expensive!
