Replying to Is park the only option?
I am still progressing and have a lot of time to go before I start thinking about getting sponsors. But it seems that only park skiers are getting sponsored. I enjoy skiing more when I am hucking cliffs or throwing 3's off of natural stuff than when I am in the park. I am very interested in learning more spins and flips like flatspins, which I will definetely start off trying on park jumps. I just have no interest whatsoever for rails and boxes, I can do basic stuff on them box but I just don't find them fun to do or to learn new things on. I just can't see myself being a park skier, or competing in those type of comps. My question is if you can still have a chance at getting sponsored if you are a freeride/backcountry kinda skier that can still throw some technical tricks. Because that is definetely what I am best at and what I want to continue doing.
