An Airplane company like Boeing or an Airline service like United.

A ski company would be fun too.

Fully funded? Sweet.

I'd basically create another Salomon or K2, but it would be private, and not a subsidiary of something bigger.

And you'd make solid skis that dont chip and fall apart easily.

I would purchase a mountain (small) put features in it for the summer that will turn into powder features in the winter. Ski companies/groups will auction for tickets to go ride the mountain. It will be made of huge powder features and will only have one groomed run. It would only be open to the public two days out of the week. Also there will be spider cams everywhere for epic dopeness

This this this this this. The top would be all pillows, cliffs and open glades with trees at the bottom with deep pow location permitting. The bottom will be all natural jibs made out of trees at the top then it will work its way down to perfectly built park jumps and jibs.

I'd make a network for video relay services...so everything from skype to video conferencing to i phones could be on the same nerwork...cus there will either be a uniclveraal network or a way for the individual networks to work with each other. Whoever does it will be the the richest person in the world...then buy my own ski area and open it only to nsers.

open a bar with some friends. Hopefully at the base of a mountain. It'd be like a house on top, and a bar on the bottom, so we wouldn't have to pay rent, and the utilities would be part of the bar fees. we'd be able to ski all day, and drink all night. perfect.

but does the fully funded cover only the startup expenses, or the first year of expenses, or lifetime expenses?

airplane company would be cool. I personally would start building rockets. NASA is clearly being run down, so might as well do it privately.


An airline would suck. There's an old saying..."the best way to become a millionaire is to start with a billion dollars, and start an airline." (airlines are either profitable, or hemorrhage money, and this can change on a monthly basis)

if its fully funded probably some sort of ski chalet business.

have a sick lodge in the mountains somewhere with heli pads, cat skiing, snowmobiles, and provide accomodations, sick food, beer and great people and just let people come enjoy their winter the way they want to.

and have other accomodities like hot tubs, sauna, ice hockey, backyard jumps and rails and anything else my customers would want.

either a property development/ management company offering newly renovated apartments/ condos with decent priced rent to people.

or an ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) monopoly, manufacture the blocks, distribute and install these basements in Saskatchewan then expand. ICF is hugely gaining popularity in new home construction, but there is still a problem finding contractors to install it, solution, also have contractors hired for the installs.

or an indoor cable park in summer for wake skis/ wakeboarding with wave machines too for surfing (i live in the prairies so how sick would it be to be able to surf), then later expand to indoor climbing gym, then add a snow flex park.

or a longboard company. (this in the next few years is my goal.it will happen once im making a little more money to offset startup costs, just watch) Im currently working on a design for a custom CNC table and sourcing parts, this will be for making molds and cutting out blanks.
