You're complaining that there's too many sponsered skiers? More sponsered skiers...more exposure.

companies can do what they want when it comes to their teams. if a team wanted 100 pros then it could, they just need money.

... or maybe they just get a lot less stuff than pros that are alone in their team. You can have 4 sponsored skiers and fill them with money and stuff or 100 and just give them 2 pairs of skis

more money in the industry = more sponsored skiers = more exposure = more sales = more money in the industry = more sponsored......

There more than 2000 pro soccer players in Spain (couning the 3 most important leagues). And of course 1st divison pros make from 500k to 7Milion each (just from the team, no publicity), so I think skiing can still go a long way...

out of all the pro skiers how many earn a wage thats enough to support anything but their ski seasons? still not much money there except for the select few, there is a lot of free skis and a couple grand here and there

Soccer is a bad example... Look at snowboarding, they have massive amounts of pro riders.
