Aspen, Colo. (Ski Press)-Mark Abma joined Salomon’s talented freeskiing team today, signing a multi-year ski, boot, and binding contract.

“I’m super happy to be joining the [Salomon] team�, smiled the understated 24 year-old Whistler BC resident. It was a big weekend for the uber-talented freeskiing star who competed at X-Games nine, was awarded “Best Performance by a Male� honors at the Powder Magazine Video Awards, and joined the Salomon Team.

“Mark is a fantastic compliment to an already amazing Team�, remarked
Salomon Sports Marketing Manager for Hardgoods Ted Wardlaw. “There are very few athletes with the power, skills and style that Mark possesses. His
incredible park, pipe, and big air skills are equally matched by his extremely strong big mountain abilities.�

Abma joins a Salomon Team that includes X-Games Slopestyle and Superpipe champions Charles Gagnier, Simon Dumont, C.R. Johnson, Peter Olenick, Michael Olenick, Sammy Carlsen, Tommy Ellingson, Jenn Hudak, and Jamie Sundberg.

Chris: But I heard that in tanning booths you can get something called Melenoma
Peter: Don't worry son that's just fancy talk for sexified.

I really doubt its for money, we can't judge the move unless we know what happens on the inside, it could be with management or something like that. I met Mark, hes a super cool guy

I think Salomon is sort of gay, but if I were in his place, I would go with whoever was offering me more money. Don't anyone deny that they wouldn't do the same. Most of these pros don't really have much to fall back on if they get hurt, or they are forced to stop skiing.
