Payment for 'pro skiers' is totally all across the board. Hell, technically I'm a pro skier because I got a ten dollar check once for second place in a big air. But yeah... guys like Tanner, Candide, and Jon pull in a lot off of comp purses and their advertisements... I've heard that both Salomon and Oakley pay a pretty penny to their top athletes. But for the vast majority of riders, being a pro skier means getting equipment for free, sometimes getting travel expenses for free, and living off of what you make in competitions or get on the side from an advertisement here and there. I may be wrong, but I doubt that guys like Steele Spence, Rory Will, or Scott Hibbert actually get cold hard cash in a contract from their sponsors.
