montec, I will admit I wear one of their jackets, but I bought it before every jerry who just switched to montec from wearing jerseys over their coat. Regret buying it although its really nice.

I think the list of sponsors I would accept is way way way smaller than the list I wouldn't accept.

I guess you don't like heliskiing, in's to massive brands that support their athlete's with living wages, and massive exposure.

What if I told you I relate a lot more to the dudes skiing on park benches living in shitty apartments, than the guys getting dropped off on the top of an AK spine by a helicopter?

If you have an opinion on this it's either because you know you will never be a sponsored skier anyways, or you're in such an elite tier that you can pretty much decide who your sponsors are.

They pay a lot better than most other potential sponsors I believe. I’m sure not everyone sponsored by energy drink companies actually drinks them.

heli skiing is a dumb waste of energy and resources. massive exposure meaning being the star of a toyota commercial? living wages if you’re down to change your self worth to be a marketing tool for corporations and minimize the value of your skiing. i’m making a fool of myself exaggerating these points and wouldn’t die anywhere near this hill, but still, tgr is where progression and creativity goes to die.

First brand that popped in my head. If you don’t receive a dm from them back in the day - were you really skiing?

My buddy accepted a “sponsorship” from them. I think they gave him a discount on a shirt or something. I absolutely cracked up when I found out 😂

I think this is more about skis you couldn’t stand riding. Hence why I said gilson, might as well throw in line, most armadas, surface, Nordica, volkl, moment, etc. I might sound like I’m on crack but I’m not sure if I would take a sponsorship from anyone other than Icelantic or Vishnu rn simply because I would rather be on no other ski. It’s even hard for me to switch back to my Vishnus because of how fun my Icelantic DaNollie’s are. Maybe armada too, the bdog edgeless is probably fun.


But I wouldn’t take a sponsorship from line or ON3P or whoever simply because I wouldn’t have as much fun skiing, period. even though if they’re funding trips or whatever. That’s my hot take.

Truth flows right here. $100,000.00 a year, and I would sport these, and wear their ads as I skied! ;-)
