We all hope to ski forever, but it can be difficult to make that a reality. What a lot of NS'ers don't always get, especially the young members, is that just because a skier is sponsored doesn't mean he's making a living. Many end up having to get a real job, have trouble with injuries, or simply decide to head down a different path in life. Here are a number of skiers who were once in the limelight, and rightly so, but haven't been the talk of the ski scene for some time now.​

Jeff Kiesel

Best taps in the game. Put out some real smooth skiing at PC and Brighton over the years.​


Andrew Holson

It's Hurricane Season. One of the original founders of 4bi9. Sit back and watch the doctor work his magic.​


Jon Brogan

Them lip 2s. Brogan pretty much broke the internet with his skiing. Probably the most asked for comeback of all.​


Tyler Barnes

Barnes cruising Hood a while back. Always liked to watch this guy ski growing up.





Ian "Chug" Cosco

The funniest man to ever grace skiing.​

Don't forget that Chug actually ripped though.​




Nick Martini

Still very involved in the ski community, but he is definitely missed in front of the lens.



Travis Heed

A true OG. A classic era of skiing. Dude was so ahead of his time. A lot of these shots are still sick.​


What skiers do you wish were still filming/competing/whatever it be that they were most known for?
