325+ skis and boards,
lets say we made 100 over what we put in for each, $32,500 if we were all one big company ;)


lets see what we've spent...
it costs me roughly 125-135 per board... hahahaha:
40,625 spent in materials. I'm gonna stop here with the math and guesswork :)

Looks like, not even the biggest board builder supply can profit from us!!! Not with these figures.

Best way to make a small fortune in ski building is to start with a large one!.... (queue the rim shot, http://instantrimshot.com/ :-) )

Very impressive Doug, cool that you're hanging in there.

If its in you, you'll make it happen.

To use an analogy, if you want to make music it takes dedication and desire. Without it you will not succeed.
