Seeing as there are like 4-5 agents that rep 95% of money making athletes, that's to be expected.

Ridiculous

r00kieHenrik is probably chilling, AHall I would imagine is set for a bit after cleaning up at the Olympics, we all know Elieen Gu is loaded. Others that probably make at least median income could be Jesper, Andri Spaghetti, Tanner Hall, etc. Just guessing here, prepared to be corrected by those that know more.

Henrik probably could support himself financially just from skiing, but tbf his dad is a rich champagne importer and according to Tanner, Henrik has never really needed to work for anything

There is no more sponsor money. the front page article about athlete union was comical. redbull and monster arent going to support athletes that have no competition scene. legit, x games and dew tour are the only comps, so yeah, two skiers per year have a chance to make any money at all. every pro skier comes from a rich family, why do you think they were skiing as kids, in ski schools? Armada doesnt sell enough skis to support $10000 sponsor checks, pat goodnough pays for skis to call himself pro. China's Line skis is owned by K2, and they arent paying tom wallisch and will wesson dog dick. your favorite "pro " skier has never earned a turn, and are such babies they will cry about not getting paid enough....
A real professional supports their lifestlye without begging from sposnors or mommy.

listen pal @nick_GAPER and @ahmetdadali need to be called the fuck out.

these microceleb niche influencers of skiing’s gone by past ruined this sports image by chucking rocks at cars and contributing to conspiracies.

now we’re left with libtard happy hour in kooksville and a set of delaminating Vishnus in the corner while @eheath continues to embezzle money that should have gone to the next generation of skiers attending camp of champions or windells

^agree and disagree.
the orange name status should have had its own forums for professional members of the community to interact, in view of the community, but shielded from trolling. BOOM, professional forums, not shit shows.
Eheath sold the orange status / contributions for (only god knows) and corrupted the entire site.

asparagusDepends what you count as "ski sponsors". Unless you mean literal "ski" sponsors like Armada and Line.

I'm thinking ski industry, like if skiers aren't buying the product then there's no money. Armada is a good example, a lot of big names on their team get paid from other industries or have other stuff going on and they don't hide it in the marketing to maintain the illusion.

This is what happens when you expect every action sport to be like skateboarding. I'd argue that pro skiers do very well compared to athletes in other sports like tRaCk aNd FEilD and biKiNg. Freeski money comes from freeskiers, and there's probably not enough little kids pumping money into the industry at the moment. Also not a mainstream sport anymore

is it just me or is everyone on here saying every 2 seconds that the industry isn't as lucrative as it used to be and that everybody is a starving artist now?

like bro it's action sports wtf do you expect. even in SKATEBOARDING, the most popular action sport on the planet, it's relatively few people at the top making the big bucks, or even enough to live off of skating alone. Might be a higher amount of athletes making the money, but it's still probably a similar percentage because skateboarding is way more popular than freestyle skiing.

why do you even care either lol. as soon as someone starts getting really paid n shit, people in this community will accuse them of selling out or being corporate or not being grassroots enough or whatever. What do you guys want? It is what it is.

sport is dying and this forum is legit cancer, @eheath has decided that affiliate partnerships and selling out are the right thing to do for the sport. That’s pushed people to not give a shit anymore and now we have a Chinese sleeper agent with rich parents running the forefront of the sport.

there’s no more gangster thug shit, nothing making skiing cool. It’s in a aerial ice age where everyone is a cuck. There’s a few Jedi still out there but we can never expect the sport to return

For the most part I agree.. With the age of social media and literally endless amounts of ski edits and ski content, it's nearly impossible to be unique and have the spotlight for more than a day. I mean do you remember when movies like EDIAS and whatnot were released, and that was pretty much the main ski content for a stretch of the season we had until the following spring/summer? I can vividly remember talking about specific segments on the lifts back then for an entire season. That age is gone now.. Quantities of ski content are just too vast for most ski athletes to be making a living off the sport 24/7 aside from a select few that have been mentioned in this thread.

To be clear I'm not complaining about the new era of skiing, just offering my observation. Cheers OP

eheath and the Chinese have set out to destroy this industry with bullshit IRRELEVANT advertisement and whoring out a god damn national treasure to some action sports cuck affiliate network.

BUT THATS NOT ALL this crusty Doritos-fueled fatass with a snarky attitude and a ban hammer on a forum with MAX 50 people on at once has been responsible for this not becoming the BILLION dollar industry it could have been.

some of the best skiers were ostracized by a guy whose breath smells like slim Jim and cool ranch Doritos and probably doesn’t shower daily. The contests were rigged, comps were crooked, and you know what? Now the Chinese have installed Eileen Gu, I guess that’s good for all you bot NPC simps who want to circle jerk an 18 year old doing tricks we all yawned at a decade ago as this industry collapsed under the pressure of negligence.

eheath should look in the mirror and be ashamed
