Marker sells a line of Ski ware and is Licencee for the next winter olympics. Marker sells plenty of bindings. Could be local preferences and marketing incentives. I would like a wider response before I'd base a buy sell on it. Thanks for the impute. I snow board myself

I wouldn't judge it anecdotally. Marker has 45-50 percent of market share.

Oak Tree Marker is the dominent binding at Ski Market the Big New England Chain. Here is some other stuff they sell. I'm sorry the Snowboard thing didn't get more time and funding. Marker International is a designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer of alpine ski bindings in the United States, Europe and Asia. Marker International ("Marker" or the "Company") is a holding company which operates through its subsidiaries, Marker Deutschland GmbH ("Marker Germany"), Marker USA, Marker Japan Co., Ltd. ("Marker Japan"), Marker Austria GmbH ("Marker Austria") and Marker Canada, Ltd. ("Marker Canada"). Substantially all of the Company's ski bindings are manufactured by Marker Germany, which also distributes bindings in Germany, to subsidiaries of the Company, and to independent distributors in countries where the Company does not have a distribution subsidiary. Marker Ltd., also a subsidiary of the Company, designs, distributes and sells to retailers the Company's clothing, gloves and luggage products for skiing and other recreational activities. The principal markets for the Company's clothing, gloves and luggage products are North America, Europe and Asia. The Company is in the process of exiting the snowboard business through dissolution and sale of its snowboard subsidiaries and related assets.
