If you were a billionaire and you could do anything you want in ski industry, what would you do ?
I would like to build such objects as woodward, but in countries 'bad-located' to promote this sport globally, And you ?..

start my own brand. buy up mountain resorts and give them good parks. make lift tickets cheaper. make free ski-rentals for poor people. make a freestyle sports academy open for everyone who just likes the sport but is not necessarly good at it. turn my home into one big ass skatepark. finally build a backyard setup. also a big ass tramp in my backyard. and a pool. make a world trip. free food for everyone. most importantly share all this with friends.

damn life would be fun with money

Well, first I'd also buy Vail and turn it into Park City.
In terms of other stuff, I'd give J like a million dollars, then I'd buy a bunch of land somewhere in BC, build large booters in summer, buy a helicopter and some snowmobiles and session.......

Also, first post on a front page topic.

Would probably buy a mountain and then build a nice facility like woodward with tons of skateparks, foam pits, tramps, huge pool, a hockey rink and a huge indoor fridge to shred all year long at the base and of course lots of space to have friends live there

Hmm, this is a tough one.

First, I would buy out some land in the alps and build a mega park, with amazing training facilities at the bottom that can be used year round with really affordable rental housing in the area as well. Next, I would run an invitational in said park every year for AMs and people without sponsored, kinda like superunknown except the winner bags contracts for $50,000 a year, funding sick ski trips and allowing lots of unknown skiers get some insane footy.

Next, I would probably try to invest in several big ski companies like Faction, buy Oakley from luxottica and move their production back to America.

Finally, I would open a shop at the bottom of this place that sells ski gear at super cheap prices by buying in bulk, and literally selling at a high enough price to keep the shop self sufficient. It would also do internet delivery, and thus would quickly overtake the likes of blue tomato for unrivalled internet ski-gear purchasing.

Boom, take that bitches.
