So i email Iris to see about sponcering skiers and this was their reply
Hey Ian,
Thanks for wanting to represent IS Design but unfortunately because all of
us here are strictly snowboarders, we are only committed to supporting
snowboarders. Because we don't know anything about skiing, we would feel
like we would be selling out if we hooked up athletes in sports we aren’t
personally involved in. I hope you understand, and best of luck with the
upcoming season.

Take it easy,

Smokie

Kinda lame right. Selling out. I mean just because they dont do it doesnt mean they shouldnt support it

I think it is good that they are sticking to their principles and not sponcering skiers. They aren't being greedy like some other snowboard companies and trying to get into skiing. The company was started by a pro snowboarder and I think it is cool that they want to stick with snowboarding.

I think rails in general are just a phase. - Anthony Boronowski

compare it to this: how would SKIERS feel if orage started sponsering boarders? probably the same as if iris started sponsering skiers.
