These are all assumptions but:

1. They ski at hood for free. (Windells, working at Timberline, etc)

2. Their sponsors give them free shit (for the most part) which is shared among the crew

3. They live frugally in deplorable conditions (Homeless to near-homeless conditions)

4. They work an absurd amount of hours

Everyone has their own way of doing it, some people live in cheap houses, or their cars, some help do coaching type stuff in the winter or whatever to make some cash or they go to school or maybe work nights, then they work and ski in the summer, some just ski, then in the fall they stack cash, I know Forster does wine harvests and works like 60 hour weeks, the only person I don't get is Joey vandermeer, Joey how do you afford to go to Europe and New Zealand and shit are you really that sponsored? Is it all money you make off of selling dakine and Oakley stuff to tline kids?

Meek's does mad hours in the fall, a modern day working man. It doesn't matter though, because he's the bunkest of dudes, definitely not backing it

Alot of them work and hate to say it but none of their families appear to be broke, support from parents when your kid is hype as fuck should fall into place, but sure eventually they'd get tired of funding their kids drug induced sex binder of a ski life so then they get a job to keep skiing and there you have it.

Scrappy's parents are very loaded. He pretty much lives off the money that they give him.

I don't get why you would feel the need to put someone's financials out there like that ^.

Regardless, this isn't rocket science. It's not that difficult to prioritize skiing and work around it. Lots of people do it, including me. I'm not saying it's necessarily advisable, or a good longterm strategy, but it's fun and very doable.
