Interviewee: JP BONNEMASON Hardgoods product manager
How was last season in the snowboard market?
We stopped the snowboard business 2 years ago but will come back on Winter 25-26 with a small program. With the recent overall price increases, have there been any positive developments in manufacturing, sourcing, or logistics? New licensing partner in US with new manufacturing in Taiwan.
E-commerce Vs. physical retail, how are you balancing both channels?
After 2 years without proposing any DC snowboards on the market; we are back in the boards business but with a distribution on ecommerce & retail only.
