From what I know, Elan still makes alpine boards, but you cannot find them on their official catalogue. The factory is in Carinthia (Austria), where they produce for other 10 brands (also Sigi Grabner). The Elan skis otherwise are still manufactured in Slovenia.

Goltes has grown a lot with its own development work. In the next season the female PGS world champion Ekaterina Tudegescheva will race on Goltes boards.

I thought Rabanser is manufactured at Spirit.... that guy did not look like someone who has an own factory.... especially considering the quantities he most probably sells...

Francesco, do you remember where he gets those sticks produced?

Cheers

That's what I said before... I strongly believe Rabanser are made by Spirit, but when I asked him he said he makes his own boards....

Same thing for phiokka... I saw one board that looked like a TT (because of the longitudinal middle structure). This year line doesn't look like anything..

Some additions:
As for SGS, Goltes is produced at Elan (though I am not certain if in Carinthia or Slovenia), the development of the boards is however completely on their own work. I got this information from someone who told me to be working at Elan. One should ask Jani Goltes for more information about if interested. Jani is a really nice chap.

I saw the all line last year in Soelden. They are quite original in the shape and pretty decently built. Not too expensive either.
