everyone kinda has their own definition of "pro" - technically, it means you have a pro model of some sort, but that's not really necessary anymore (in all sports that is), it also could be just that you compete as a pro in comps, or just that you get paid to ski, it also depends on the company and what their definition of "pro" is.
