So I searchbarred and couldn't really find anything.
So who do you think has the most stacked team in skiing? Pertaining to hardgoods (i.e. not outerwear companies)

I'm gonna have to go with K2. They have unreal urban riders from the Stept crew and legends like Seth Morrison and Pep Fujas. Aswel as my favorite rider Collin Collins.

So? What do you think?

Armada. T-Hall, JP Auclaire, B-Dog, Edollo, Torin Y-W, Hornbeck. Many more. They are pretty set

Full Tilt or Joystick... But as far as other brands then those two, I feel like Atomic and Armada have loads of solid, solid guys

Full tilt has a shit ton of "athletes" that ride for them, but I'm not sure how many people are actually on the team, i.e. being paid to ski for them.

on the topic of the thread, armada, k2, and atomic are the big 3 the way I see it, nordica has been going hard with their recruitment of riders recently though. More lesser known guys who kill it in the more "insane 2 minute edit" way, instead of full length film, or comp aspects.

Most likely K2 or Armada like most people said. But I get the sickest vibes from the Line and Moment Teams.

armada, atomic and k2 for sure, but i'm surprised nobody has said line yet. in terms of filming the line team is stacked with unique and entertaining people

Oakley probably has the most talented riders

Not sure how many of them get paid though

Not sure what you consider to be a team, do they have to be paid to be on the "team" or do they just have to use that company's equipment?

Full Tilt prolly has the best, but they dont pay any of their athletes. The only ones that are paid are those that have pro-model boots.

Definitely Oakley. But also Atomic, Armada and K2 like everyone else said.

I am most stoked that Oakley still has McConkey still listed on their team. So awesome to see them still paying respect to a legend.

Candide rides for whoever will pay him. He doesn't 'truly represent' Faction like he didn't truly represent

-salomon
-rossi
-dynastar
-Coreupt

It's nothing like how the Armada intl team truly rep Armada and how K2 truly rep K2.

He has absolutely no loyalty and probably no care for what gear he uses.

Still a mega boss though.
