Get better, win comps.

Whoa kid chill out. We're all pretty dedicated to this sport don't hate on someone you don't know. You've learned a lot in two years but theres so many people better then you. Go big make a good video of yourself and send it to some companies. I would start with some clothing companies first, they're more likely to sponser you. Maybe your local mountain or some local ski shops.

you shouldn't just be motivated to learn new tricks so you can get sponsored, have some determination on improving for yourself and don't forget about the true meaning of the sport

good, cause if your difficult and can't take critism, then companies won't want to work with you.

This year just do a some comps and keep pushing your limits and try to get sponsored by the littler companys like your local ski shop. Then next year try to get sponsored by the big ski companys. When sending in a sponsor video, maybe you should send in an essay or something explaining what you can do for the company and how determined you are, that might catch they're attention. Also, go to some camps like High North, or something. If you want to try new inverts and stuff you can go to 'Ramp Camp' where you go off of big jumps into pools. Ive never been sponsored and im not the greatest skier, so Im just guessing on what you should do... Sorry if it doesn't help, im just trying to use my common sense... Good Luck!

just do comps and if you win a lot of them you'll get recognized, if your'e good enough you'll make it. but i thought that i was the most obsessed person with skiing in the world until i came onto this site, but then i realized there are tons of people like me, so dont say that you are more obsessed with skiing then anybody else on this site

win as many comps as possible and they will come to you or get to know reps and other 'insiders' and if your good enough they will help you get hooked up.

skiings not about being sponsored it's about having fun and doing what you love.

look dude im just as dedicated to skiing probly as much as everyone on this site and yeah i used to have dreams like you get sponsered because it was all i thought about i mean come on think about we would all love to ski as a job and go places but i soon realised that its not about sponsership its about the sport and just ski to ski fuck sponsership youll have more fun skiing for the fun of it than you will anything but i guess if sponsership is what you want go for it...good luck.

Try getting in contact with Budweiser, Smirnoff, and if that doesn't work, possible Marlboro or Camel. Who cares about getting free skis when you can drink all you want?
