Okay, so I was just cruising their site, and it looked to me like if you get them referrals you can earn discounts on skis, or get them free. Anyone know how many referrals it takes to earn free sticks?

How can a private funded ski company start up within a year and have a budget large enough to accommodate 3 of the best competition skiers in the world? THEY CANT... CoreUpt is exactly that... skiing is all about the money

You cant blame an athlete for trying to maximise their earning capability though

Personally I think it is a good thing. It gets money into the sport which filters down. It gets attention and press. At the end of the day your the only person who choose which skis to buy so it doesnt matter where the hell they came from.

CoreUpt in Tignes has changed the place, their park has been crap for a few years and with CoreUpt bringing their stars to the slopes the park has and will improve tenfold. Which is only good for everyone who goes there like me! ha.

Anyway i know ppl dont like corperations but fucket they are the ppl who waste money in our sport. But there are always too sides to every story.

Dyanstars rock though, and for free...even better. So no one knows the exact number of how much it would take...I guess if it takes a lot I won't be able to get it done anyways.
