Who is the best skier you know without a ski sponsor?

I wanna see who people are backing these days. Who is coming up and has the love of their hometown crowd. So when I say the best skier you know, I mean the best skier that you actually know in real life. Whether you have hiked some rails with them at a rail jam, you are part of the same crew, or maybe you see them most days tearing it up at your local hill and you say what's up to em.

Whatever the case may be- post up a video if you are gonna drop a name, lets see whats out there that hasn't gotten hooked up yet. A real superunknown.

too many to list. the level people are at these days is crazy, I know so many dudes who shred but just aren't good enough apparently. A lot of them are super modest and don't really care tho... sponsors require responsibility which blows.

This kid has talent for sure, but you have to factor in more then just skiing to being sponsored. If a skier doesn't compete much or come out with a lot of content that racks up views, companies probably wouldn't see them as a wise investment. It also depends on how the skier represents him/herself and how he/her acts, because that's how he/her will be representing the company, so they always look for someone that has a positive influence on their surroundings. I'm not saying anything about this kid cause I know nothing about him, but just in general.

Fuck that's absurd, his segment in Mutiny was definitely something completely different than what we're used to see

Source? Stept site shows him as being on K2 and Full Tilt (although Full Tilt doesn't pay their athletes so that isn't really a huge bonus for him).
