Try a search. Many well-respected indies began as board companies and still are.

I thought we had snow board companies to thank for all skis these days

I'd rather be skiing

I skied most of last year's Australian season on a pair of Palmer P01s. They're fun skis, especially in spring snow. I bought them too long for me, but they're really soft. They're not especially precise - you feel like you're just flapping happily down the hill - and they tend to chatter a bit in the low profile tip when it's steep and the snow is less soft.

 

They worked better for me when I really moved forward - I mean really moved forward - so I could play around with the mount. Although I just skied a few weeks in the US on my new Kastle MX88s, and I can't see myself bothering with the Palmers - or any ski other than the Kastles - any time soon.
