From here.

Some big manufacturers make skis specifically for the rental market so they would be pretty cheap (excluding 'top of the line' rentals), if they are renting out a pair of skis for 15 weeks a season at £50 a week they make a pretty good return on the skis keeping in mind last years middle of the range skis may well become next years bottom line = big returns :)

Sallanches based Dynastar is to receive a massive cash injection of € 38 million from its owners, Rossignol. A statement from the board of directors claims that Dynastar is losing over € 1 million a week.

That has got me thinking I wonder how much a ski shop pays for a pair of skis, I guess cheaper deals for bulk purchase ????

Not sure, if you knew the cost to a manufacturer you would never pay anywhere near RRP ever again :shock:

Same with most things, probably a pretty decent mark up (I would imagine, especially buying in large quantities).
