![]() if you're good enough to get there you'll find out on your own, the rest of us might as well just keep shredding and enjoy depleting our bank accounts regularly for bike gear we have to pay for. If you want a versatile boot that will let you tackle freestyle runs and many other types of skiing, take a look at the Salomon S/Pro 100. Then again ultimately it really doesn't matter. Key features: Versatile performance, Custom Shell HD, core-frame construction, micro-adjust buckles. Anyway, I'd like to hear from someone who is from Europe and knows more about this because I have a hunch that biking, much like skiing, has a lot more money in Europe and that there are more Euro riders who are well paid. Well I could count over half a dozen skiers who I know for a fact make 6 figures, and that is only in the realm of park skiing I'm not involved in the big mountain scene at all, although I don't think there's really any money in big mountain maybe the top 1 or 2 guys there for video segments. I don't remember exact numbers, but maybe half a dozen athletes make enough to be 'wealthy'.ĭHing is less mainstream than skiing so it's fair to assume that it probably reflects in incomes. ![]() The majority made enough to live like college students if that. Shockingly few on the elite level made what most would consider a large income. There was an article in Powder a few years ago about the incomes of professional skiers. No question Gwin would've got $400k if that includes his incentives and prize money, but if it is similar to skiing in scope then being the "best" rider currently I could see him getting $400k just in salary. I would bet with his record he got 6 figures from trek and redbull no problem this season, plus incentives. For the 1988 Winter Games, in Calgary, Alberta, all three freestyle disciplines moguls, aerials, and ballet were admitted as demonstration sports. ![]() I'd believe it for sure, again all I really know about is skiing so this is inferred, but all it takes is to sign a few big companies with deep pockets who will gladly throw down a big salary to bag the best of the best for their team. Ballet skiers had one main reason for giving up their pro tour and going amateur: to make it to the Olympics. Just shows of your not at the top then your not earning reallyįind it very hard to belive that Gwin makes 400k, even professional motor sports people would struggle to make that unless competeing at the highest level. I had a list of salaries from sponsorships and the top names were ![]()
