Why do you guys think that non-skiing/non-action related sports companies sponsor skiers? (i.e. Samsung sponsoring Mahler or Target sponsoring Yater-Wallace) What do they get out of it? Freeskiing doesn't an enormous target audience to advertise to...

They are probably just getting money for publicity issues. For like putting their logos on the helmet and skis.

Torin isn't on target anymore but its still a good example. Basically its exposure during big events ie xgames.

its funny i recently wrote an article about this.

when a brand like nana's berrys sponsors a skier, its injecting that product into the market. so if they were to sponsor tom waliisch then a lot of the skier diets would start having increased levels of antioxidants from the berrys

I brought up a "I want to be sponsored by a ridiculous company" in the park shack mid season.

Tampons seemed to be pretty in. Pretty much would be down to be sponsored by the least related thing to skiing/snowboarding. A gold shoe company, some tampons, a brand of bathsalts, and some other stuff would be a good start for me,

Any company can sponsor someone even if its not related to what they do/ known for. At the end of the day, it comes down to whether; the sponsored someone can actually advertise there company and make more people buy product from it.

example: Sage Kotsenburg was or is (dont know currently) sponsored by wheaties, so wheaties thought if they stick Sages face on the front of wheaties, the sale of the cereal will go up. This applies to Torin with target; they feel Torin is able to advertise there store and get more people to visit and buy from it.
