FACTION has Candide, Delorme, Tim McChesney, etc.
ATOMIC has Nicky Keefer, Jossi Wells, Durtschi, etc.
ARMADA Henrik, T Hall, Phil Casabon, etc.
and those are just some!

Seems like every company has a staaacked crew of riders and I think it's awesome, but who has the most stacked crew of riders?

It doesn't have to be between those 3.

Why do you say them? and if you could choose just one, which one?

I always feel like 4frnf dies for some reason.

Hoji- directional pow master
David wise- halfpipe master
Kye Peterson- he cleared chads at 14...nuff said
Wiley miller- BC freestyle master..won realski last year and is competing again
Thayne rich- BC freestyle..he isn't one of the "big names" on the team but he kills it and I think he'll get a pro model in the future.

Pep fujas???- there was a thread about this but idk if we ever decided if fuja was still on k2 or 4frnt


And the beloved CRJ..he may be gone but he did ALOT for 4frnt and I think he had ankh part in making it was the company it is today.

Oh TR will for sure have a pro model sooner then later. 4FRNT always end up stacked and then goes below for a little while but they have a pretty stacked team I just feel like other companies have more all around great skiers and I HAVE 4FRNT SKIS!

Goes below? I feel liked they've always been solid. Also as a smaller company compared to armada and the other ones mentioned id say 4frnt is doing pretty well team ways

Goes below as in stays under the radar. No doubt a solid team though. Wiley is one of top favorite skiers.

Oh sorry I knew what you meant by go below I was just wondering when? They've had Hoji and wiley since pretty much the beginning. Only been around for like 12 years. They for sure weren't as popular as they started compared to the last 7 years or so.

It's pretty easy for a big company do have a stacked team. There are heaps of universally loved skiers. And if said skier slays then when they get a contract from X company they will most likely be loved by NS.

da fuq. I personally love the nordica team, everyone just fits together so well, ski wise and personality wise.

I have always been a fan of 4FRNT those were my first park skis. And there team is always good.

As far as Icalantic goes, i love the skis but the team isnt really there besides Nick Martini, Stack, and Carr. But im sure that is going to change with Martini there. The company focuses on build quality and they treat there skis like art. There motives are just different.

Don't they? I think it's an interesting question. If a ski company is gonna put out a line of park skis, but not invest in a good team of pro skiers, it's an odd move in their part. Surely they have a reason, no? "Ski company X has a sick team" has been talked about over and over. Why not look at the other side I the spectrum?

Élan has been in the game as long as anyone (or longer), yet they have never had a good team. Is it a conscious decision, or have pros been turning their offer down? Scott has shown that older companies do have the ability to build a good team, so what is keeping the other guys from doing the same?

Talking about how good armada's team is isn't really a new discussion. Their company was build by some of the greats in the industry.

Maybe atomic has better edges or something because Jossi, LSM and Keefer all ride with impeccable edge control.

Volkl seems to always be on top of the podiums and they also have Ahmet.

Brita sigournry, Maggie Voison, Anna Segal, and Taylor Lundquist. Also Kelly sildaru or whatever but she's too young in my opinion to make a huge name for herself. Give her 3 years.

I was assuming by etc that people knew what that meant. it doesn't mean that's all that is on the team. It means the rest of the team and if you don't know who are on which team look it up. Not difficult.
