I heard FD Virtika sponsors everything he does. Even the prostitutes.

I could be wrong though.

He was a "professional" skier at one point, I don't know how many sponsors he still has, but he definitely had a few, that's how he started first drop right? With leftover sponsorship money?

I thought he was, I remember some kind of 'welcome to the team' video where he got a tour of the K2 building.

No Lesh was definitely riding 9's too. I'm talking completely out of my ass, but I feel like he floats the guys at 9 some FD gear (not Devine) and the guys at 9 throw him some skis.

Lesh was riding for Liberty, at least for the last few years that I remember. He filmed with Level 1 too.

Well thanks! Much appreciated. I can still ski OK, haven't really pushed myself to do much of anything too special in the last 5 years or so, but that muscle memory just won't quit.

I'm sponsored by Smith and Virtika (FD) of course, and a number of other companies hook me up with what I need. I haven't bought any ski gear in over a decade.

I used to have a ton of sponsors but decided that dealing with them on a daily basis wasn't worth my time after starting First Drop. I was having to spend a TON of time just trying to get the very small amount of money out of them that they owed me, and I figured my time was better spent growing my own company. So I ditched most of them, and did my own thannnnnnng. Ya dig?
