The main objective of this study is to trace all the developments experienced by the alpine ski market between 2000 and 2006.
The underlying objectives often are of one general point of view: To present a thorough analysis of the characteristics of the alpine ski market and its trends. Thus, this market has been studied as a whole, emphasizing the importance on all the points that structure and development should be in the most accurate way possible. Indeed, through the linking of all the phenomena that characterize it, the market has been studied
From a personal perspective: The primary purpose of this study is to provide knowledge on the socio-economic sector, as well as the product and market trends. On this point, this study presents itself as a real research work necessary for the acquisition of a culture specific to our industry and as a professional and integral component of our future professional success. Indeed, it is essential to fully control the information directly related to future businesses, because this knowledge will be a great tool for strategic development decisions that will very soon be called on to take alone.
A methodology was followed rather simple in the sense that at first it identified the set of points which will develop in the paper, then collected a huge amount of information related to the study area by organizing themes (technology companies, consumer product lines, etc.). The group then wrote each point in an objective manner, to summarize in some ways the current data present in the press, websites, magazines, etc. And finally, at the end of each item detail, a point of view was given that may be a little more subjective, to mitigate the words, but not falling into a unique work of compiling information, but falling under analysis by leveraging the industry knowledge.

The creation of the French Ski Federation, which consisted at the time 10 federations, and the creation of the International Ski Federation happened around 1924. Following this, downhill skiing gradually became a social phenomenon, which had pushed to create the FFS in 1938, the French National School of Skiing and the first championships of France, which took place in Val d Isere in 1941. Then came the next Olympic Games, World Championships. Skiing gradually became a global phenomenon.
