tanner, candide, and wilson all break the $150 grand mark every year. there's probably more, but none that come to mind. im sure that ganier is going to this year as well as sammy.

If you are a top tier pro you have a few different channels to make a living from. Retainers pay either a monthly amount or allow you to draw cash from a "pool" of money. You can get these from goggle companys, outerwear, skis, ect. Also, when you win comps some of your sponsors may match a percentage of winnings. Free product and modest travel budgets are what 85% of the "pros" out there get. Gravity Games payed out $20,000 for first in pipe and slopestlye. I assume TJ's sponsors (Orage, Armada, Red, ect) matched that so he could have made another 50-80K in addition to the 20K he won in slopestyle. As a teenager it is a lot of money but these kids need to put it away b/c many don't have an education and they will not be making that kind of money in 5 years. Guys like tanner who started buying real estate are playing it right.

yes, people like tanner make a good deal of flow, but they are the best.
average pro= $7,000=20,000 a year (short lived too)
many of these talented skiers think skiing is all you have to do. but lets face it, only 3 positions are available for recognition at the majority of contests. sure, your BRO earned 12 place at the Open and can't stop talkin' about it, but the sponsors don't consider that top selling/marketing of their product; unless he/she is 15 and a will earn top three sometime soon; so they invest some flow into them.

If the best your gonna do is "12th", you need to be marketing yourself in other ways (i.e. film, articles, photos, etc.) Here is another way of lookin' at it: Eric Pollard or Sage Cattebriga enters the US Open and don't even qualify for the semi's. They know this isn't their game and so they diversify their bonds by gettin' dope film segs, photos published in every mag, articles written, ads placed, etc. Although they are some the styliest skiers around, they know they have to put it in front of the camera.

My post is suckin'. Oh ya, people like Eric, Sage, and Brad Holmes, just happen to be in the right place at the right time.

I think it is more than that... At least for the top names like tanner or candide. How much does oakley win because the top skiers use A-Frames? They must be giving a LOT on contracts. Do you know how much Tiger Woods gets from nike just to wear a nike hat and a nike shirt? I'm not sayin it is the same, but oakley and those must be payin a lot to the riders annually.

usually your sponsors will match the prize money at events and if you get an add in a magazine a cover is like 5k full page 1-2k and half page 250-1000.

i bet Candide is one of the most highly paid of all skiers. And i'm pretty sure a lot of "pro" skier have a second job. The big names don't, but some of the newer ones in the game work and ski.

I don't think that comparing Bode to freeskiers is a fair comparison, and we need to stop doing it.

The top snowboarders make more than the top freeskiers and no one makes that comparison. And freeskiers have their body a lot more on the line than any of the big pro sports. Freeskiers don't make a lot but until the market grows, they'll never make much.

Here's where I'll step on my podium...a lot of people rip on "posers" who have newschool gear but aren't that great of skiers. If you discourage people from supporting freeskiing, then the market will never grow. And all you guys who want to be pros will never have the chance because the sport will always be too small. Look at skateboarding, soooo many kids have skateboards and about 85% of them can't kickflip. But look at how fortunate the industry is because of it. There are sooo many sponsored skaters (some say too many) as the result of a booming industry.

Thanks for listening....end rant.

ya i think this thread is mostly bs, but one thing that isn't: if you're only doing it for the money, becoming a pro skier is not the way to go.

you get a travel budget. if your on a international team you get paid to be on the team, otehr than that only certain sponsers will match your prize money.

I think cadide and Jon are the best paid. Candide is very populat in other countries, and Jon gets alot from Lindberg.

you guys are all retarted and should shut up unless you actually are getting paid or know somebody well because every one of you kids up there is dead wrong, and no pro will release the real amount of money they are paid because it is against their contracts...

I have a reliable source in the film industry now and knows the Dumont. Its all bout image if you are popular-you keep your image positive and solid then you will make more money. Tanner could be making a lot more if it werent for his image. As to the exact numbers I dont know but guys like tanner jon candide wilson dumont are doin pretty well for themselves. Image is VERY key for sponsorship when you get as popular as these guys and they like it when you "cooperate."

Everybody is sayin that think that appeared on freeskier that "your sponsor will match the prize money" and stuff, and I guess thats true, but it is obviously not the only way they get paid. For example, one of the top snowboarders is JP walker, and he is nver on comps. He's just on videos and mags, but he is one of the most famous and best snowboarders, I'm sure he has a hughe contract full of zeros just for being with his sponsors cause it sells so much (Nixon, Forum, Special Blend, Oakley, Circa,
Bakoda, Premier SnowSkates, Zoo York, MiloSport).... man those r a lot of sponsors, and some of the best. I'm sure they pay him an annual huge salary, plus all the extras like videos, appearences on mags and stuff.
