thanks west, thats what I kinda figured, is there any defintive definition to a pro skier?

For example, it is very easy to identify the pro football player they either are or are not in the NFL.

pro means you get paid money. am means you get free stuff, recgonition, and flown around perhaps.

Pro would mean skiing is our only source of income, Am would mean that it is a supplement to your income.

pro techinically means your companys pay you to ski, if you get paid by a company to ski you are a pro

If the definition of pro means it's the main source of income, then I'm a pro lawn mower. Haha, great definition.

we had a big discussion about pro vs amateur athletes in one of my classes last year. there is no set definition, but most people see pro as someone who skis for a living. they may have other sources of income on the side, but their main source is from skiing.

thye have this super achievers program in my school where students with talent at a sport only take half the week of school and train the rest of the week, and this ski racer (ben chaddock) was in it and these gymnasts were in it. it would be crazy if they offered it to skiiers and boarders, i wouldnt be good enough to qualify for it though.
