What was the reason for JIBIJ closing down? Bad economic climate, or other reason?

And... anyone know what Josh Bryant is up to these days? Still a ski entrepeneur or has he set his sights elsewhere?

Wow. I woulda thought that JIBIJ would've been making bank. Perhaps if it was still around today, it could've at least broken even. After all, skiing is blowing up bigtime. It's a shame.

Joshs dream since he was a kid was to open a ski shop.After a couple years making good money and spending a ridiculous amount of time at the shop he just realised that the shop was taking all his energy and his entire time . He basically had no life besides the shop.

He just moved on. SInce nobody wanted to buy the shop, and Josh didnt want to sell it to nobody anyway, because he knew nobody would be as carefull as he was with it , he just abandonned the place.

Came back one last night and had a drink with the crew and took everything with him leaving the place empty.

He completely disapeared from the ski world because he didnt like it anymore.

He still skis and lives in Colorado. He works in an office and skis a lot still.

He also changed his name in order to avoid anything with the ski comunity but he still stays in touch with his close friends.

Its really nice to see everyone that loved what he did, he def left the ski world on a good note.

Cheers

Yup. Josh is actually his middle name.
He came back to his real name shortly after he closed the shop.
