Low sales and increased costs have sent the banks running for cover. Looks bleak for Elan, and their clients are already looking for a new manufacturer for next season.

Shame because their race skis are good, probably need to concentrate on skis which they make for other manufacturers

I think Rome are already using a Taiwanese factory, don't know if this is related but from last year most rome boards were made in the Austria factory.
