Im sure this may be a repost, but im not gonna search through all of newschoolers to find it. I was wondering how much a lower than average skier makes, how much an average skier makes, and how much your top pro skier makes. I was also wondering who are the richest pro skiers (jon olsson?)

Really its not that hard to search buddy.

I dare you to try searching "salary" and believe it or not 85% of the threads that will come up in that search are exactly what you are looking for. Search next time.

the average pro skier spends most of their nights on couches. the average 3 year pro skiing career pays $100,000 per year tops. meaning wallisch, thall, jon....make more than that and everyone else gets free gear and a slap on the ass.

Also keep in mind that many pro's start or partner with new businesses which bring in 10x more than just the sponsorship alone.

If your thinking that skiing is going to make you rich then you might want to pick up a new sport

people with pro models usually get a portion of the revenue for their pro models

i.e. tom wallisch gets 10% (random #) of all sales from his pro model boot.

Well think outside the box like Tanner Hall...he's co-owner of Armada and has money invested in Retallack Ski Lodge where he shreds POW!  He has started up Inspired Media and Music Concepts in Jamaica!  That's where the $$$$$ are!
