I'm compiling a list to give to our corporate sales team. What they want is to understand what mega-corpo brands are getting down and dirty with skiing.

So like Roz and Visa. Simon and Target. You get it...

If you want to help then throw in anything you can think of. This is how maybe one day we can get the big bucks and give you guys every feature you've ever dreamed of. :)

I feel like one of the purple names did an article on some of the corporate sponsorships in the sport. Was in the last month or two. Can't think of who it was or any of what was in there but could help if somebody can find it.

Being public?
Net worth of x?

Any North Face Athlete but I think Bishop is getting at non-ski related corporations. (ie not outerwear companies)

Paul Mitchell also sponsors Colby James West if I'm not mistaken.

I'd classify pretty much all energy drink sponsors as a non-endemic sponsor endorsement. Although on the other hand it is pretty much a given for a profesional of any sport to have some kind of energy drink sponsor due to the energy drinks usually sponsoring sport.

Is this is how you will "Grind" money out of the man? How will this help the small bizs on the site that have a hard time digesting the wonderful new advertising options that they just received?

pigglywigglywow, i didnt expect that. pretty cool. they shouldve made it in the s4 or rs4 avant though..


People in the market for an s4/rs4 avant can get whatever color they want. His is the rs6 (but I'm assuming you just were saying s4/rs4 instead of the "basic" a4). I drive an a4 avant now, and they are not slow cars by any means. Regardless, the signature a4 is probably made to be aimed at young professionals who want something nice but fun and in their price range. It offers similar specs to the bmw 3 series and mercedes c class (though the quattro awd on it blows them away), but this could be enough to win over new customers in this range of the market.

Woodsy (and Billy Morgan) are sponsored by Samsung. One of the few allowed to show their sponsorship in Sochi.
