Fischer is one of the leading manufacturers of skis and other skiing-related items such as ski boots and ski poles.

According to the Cross Country Ski Areas Association, based in Vermont, Ukraine produces half of the skis sold globally each and every year; globally there are around four million skis manufactured each year.
