Market

Salomon produces products for various sports markets, including trail running, hiking, skiing, and snowboarding in over 40 countries on five continents. They used to manufacture Inline skates, transferring technologies from their ski boot range, but have not released any products in recent years (possibly due to an infringement judgement [ [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1999_April_1/ai_54268448 Judgement Forces Salomon to Cease All Sales of Alleged Patent-Infringing Skates] from findarticles.com] ).

Design

After a five-year research project, the SX series of ski boots was introduced in the beginning of the 1980s. The boot was the result of collaboration with the French designer Roger Tallon.

The SX91 ski boot was launched in 1984, the result of collaboration with the young French designer Roger Pitiot. The boot contained a number of innovations such as the sliding forward-flex control.

Skiing

Salomon is a popular producer of skis, ski boots, and ski bindings. It was one of the first manufacturers to produce the now ubiquitous "twin tip" or Freestyle ski.
