The 2021/2022 season is over. The best skiers in World Cup and Olympics were rewarded. However, the success of skiers depends not just on their talent, effort, and skill. The important part is played also by the material they use. Skis are essential for their success and therefore we look at the season results to count the most successful ski brand. Check out how many podium places were reached by different alpine and cross-country ski brands.
The results below do not mean that we prefer any of the brands mentioned below. It is just a display of their performances during the season.

Head, Rossignol, Atomic is the trio of leading alpine ski brands. Stoeckli and Fischer are doing everything to reach them, but their success relied too much on Marco Odermatt [Stoeckli] and many different skiers for Fischer.

And my informed guess is that Rossignol is good at technical races (Slalom and Giant Slalom), Head is good at speed races (Downhill and Super G) and Atomic is doing good in both.
