LazylightningK2 probably offered her a better deal and she took it. On3p is small enough that they can't compete with bigger companies (like @k2) in that way
Edit: changed wording to clarify

WoFlowzFigured it was something like that but i felt like she was a good fit on on3p. But hey a check is a check. On3ps lost her, LSM, Siver and possibly magnus all in a year

deathvalley69Holy shit ON3P lost like 3/4 of their team in a year
tomPietrowskiThe boots are bringing people on board topo now :)
WoFlowzWould that be k2 or FT boots because their both owned by the same parent company?, and as far as Ik have the same reps. I do have to say the K2 BFC and Recon and pretty comfy hopefully gonna get a pair of those this season.
tomPietrowskiShe rides K2 boots, she reached out to me a while back about boots and that is how the conversations began to get her on the program more.
But K2 I manage both K2 and Full Tilt. They are still separate though, we do share some reps in some territories, but different development, production, graphics etc.
Jemswhen is k2 going to make a bendy ski

DesertStixReckoner 102 is what you’re asking about. I can fold those in half with minimal effort.

Max.broWait wym possibly magnus? Is he fr off the team?
WoFlowzHe was skiing blends or what looked like blends it’s in the 2022 gear thread or hype thread can’t remember which one
Max.broWhat the fuuuuuck that would be a pretty devastating blow to On3p if that happens

weastcoastPffft you’re asking kids who ski jets and vishnus over here.

GrandThingsYeah something's going down....
Will provide cash for insider info
sullivanobrien_still got mageau which is good enough for me... i can't see magnus mango or hackel on anything other than on3ps unless a company makes a whole new model
Max.broWhat the fuuuuuck that would be a pretty devastating blow to On3p if that happens
weastcoastNever
whitenabI don't think that's the way to see it. On3p or any smaller 'core' company is going to have trouble keeping their high profile athletes on for an extended amount of time because for the most part they are up and comers. It's cool that on3p and others can support the smaller guys and get them the exposure they need to catch a major deal. I'm sure the on3p management knows that they aren't the end of the road for some of the big time athletes and that's 100% okay. It's actually kinda cool because this is how culture gets changed and why core becomes popular just years later.

deathvalley69I don't really buy it that ON3P is such a small brand and it's hard for them to sponsor people, if we're being honest they have to be one of the biggest twin tip brands at this point. People act like it's the most core underground shit that nobody's ever heard of but it's not. To me it seems like they were sponsoring anybody and everybody to an irresponsible extent, and now they're working their way back down to a normal size team.
That being said I'm just some jackass who's never skied outside of Michigan and I don't know anything about the inner workings of ON3P. Not hating on ON3P that's just how I see it
CaseyI don’t know those guys either, but just from an outside perspective it’s probably hard to justify trying to chase MLB talent when you’re a AAA club and also you have competing priorities like stuff to do with the actual skis and whatever.
WoFlowzOh ok now I understand so she still may ride for ON3P as a ski sponsor but k2 is her boot sponsor. Makes sense
Max.broActually now that I think of it I think because K2 owns line, and I think line has something to do with on3p or some shit like that, I think. Idk I could literally just be dumb as fuck so 🤷♂️
powpatrolthere’s not really any connection between line and on3p sorry to say

X_ANKILLAAll my homies work at Surefoot and hate K2 Boots with a burning passion haha

DesertStixIggy has literally said this much before.
WoFlowzIt’d be sick to see something like skivas again or like that one movie Laura Obermeyer filmed that was all girls. All in all I think seeing more girls in the street is sick and in the park.
