BROLFno, that doesn't mean that for sure. He probably will be on a new ski sponsor but he could just switch goggle sponsors
SteakheadYes it does, If you are not on SCOTT Goggles you are not on Scott Skis. Conflict of interests. You wouldn't be under contract on Oakley Outerwear and Smith Goggles. I am bummed to see him leave but at the same time this is a good thing for Tom and some new opportunities, it was a great run that came to an end.
MEOWZERSThere's a rumor going around SLC that Tom is creating is own ski company.
BROLFWill Wesson is on Scott goggles, helmets, and poles, but not skis.
MLJBasically whoever can afford him gets him, like what danbrown said. At the moment, companies like K2/their companies, and some mainstream super rich companies that may not be huge on the park scene like dynastar or volkl.

Iraq_LobsterIf we are just talking who can pay him the most, then it would probably have to be a really big corporation and not a brand like faction or APO, maybe not even atomic. It would be somethin like K2 or Rossignol
CamembertWhy is this sticky'd?
On topic:
- How can Shred afford him? Years back Shred was upcomming but I thought they were slowly crawling back in some hole..
- If he goes to Faction (dont think so) than Faction has had some massive funding in the last 2 years or have some smart contracts with their riders. Its already hard to understand how they can afford their current team..
- My money is on Volkl..
GokuLine, Volkl, J Skis, or Armada
cartertc65He's been with Scott forever, don't think he's going anywhere
Iraq_LobsterArmada or Atomic would fit them pretty well. Atomic has a good comp focused straightforward no nonsense group. That would kinda fit
NPFilmburton
Niko6.0Armada would be sick
NPFilmscott prototypes? just cause they are white doesnt mean they are automatically from a different company. or does it?
jamiel217I could not see Wallisch on Armada at all. Similar to how Gus Kenworthy left them, he does not fit the feel of Armada. However, Atomic seems to be hands down the best fit mentioned so far, they have a great ski line along with an amazing team of really mellow excellent skiers with their own unique style (Mainly focusing on Keefer, Kenworthy, and the remaining feelings toward Andreas Hatveit). He just seems to fit with the feel of their team better.
The 2008-2011 Tom Wallisch may have fit the Armada team super well, but since he lined himself up with a bunch of big time sponsors and cleaned up his style toward skiing it just isn't the right fit.

danbrownall of this is just so incredibly relevant to who he signs with, you should really look into a career as an agent
E-mooresrossignol?? they used to have some big names and they got a killa park ski. but in his instagram vid it looked like a fatter park ski so i could see faction

nickmcnuttKastle? I could see them spending some money growing their park-oriented sales.
