money wise? does a video part and a couple good comp places cover them for a year or are they stuck working summer jobs?
 
I heard that they make enough so that if let's say their house, car, skis, family all blew up, they could replaice it off a week's paycheck.
 
i hope some ppl in here aren't serious, they really dont make that much, deff not a million a deff, much lower
 
Most money in skiing comes from contests, salary, and photo/comp incentive. Biggest ski companies will usually pay out a base salary of $15 - 20,000 and photo and comp incentive varies. Biggest comps, x-games for example pay out $25,000 for first and a lot of the time sponsors will match that. Thats a $50,000 day. All told, a pro at the top level can make a few hundred thousand a year. Pros at the lower levels make peanuts. It will be interesting to see where things will go with bigger sponsors, Target for example, slowly coming to the ski scene.
 
bwahahahaha, if their famly's blew up what would they do get a mail order family from china? but yes they make quite a bit at the top
