Next season there should be amateur and pro divisions... trying to compete against Jeff Thomas throwing switch rodeo 7's is ridiculous. It was a fun time though.

well, if you wanna get all fucking technical about it a pro skier is a skier who gets paid. ski instructors are 'pro' skiers.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't automatically classify a ski instructor as a 'pro'. The reason being that they get paid to *teach*, not to *ski*.

I would say that a 'pro' is someone who gets paid to ski (to compete, film, etc) - not to teach others.

 
Daryl...does that make me a 'pro' since I am paid to ski as a skipatrol?

yea dude... and um, ski instructors are 'pro' skiers if you wanna get technical. park skiing isn't the only aspect of this sport called skiing. it's not even close to being the leading aspect either (soon, but not right now). why the hell do you think ski instructors are called ski pros sometimes.

the ski world isn't revolved around jumping.

Just remember that everyone gets theirs in the end... have you been naughty or nice?

 
i hate to burst everyone's bubble, but freestyle skiing is an amateur sport, there is no porfessional freestyle skiing league where ski clubs pay millions of dollars to their athletes. The word 'pro' is overused by the public to describe anyone that is really successful at the sport. It's a generalization and nobodys complaining about it.

ur an idiot super man, anything that is done by anyone, as long as that person is getting paid to do the service or act or wut it may be, is a professional in that sport or wutever is it.

 
Go out and do the research Howell - a sponsorhip is different from getting paid, Government support is there to keep the 'pride and joy of the nation' above the poverty line. and don't be so cocky, girls 'll think you're compensating for something.

yea - superman's right dude... that shit's amature sports... you win a big competition and what do you win? a pretty f.i.s. gold metal. no novelty size checks there.

The whole pro vs Am is pretty washed out these days. Traditionally a pro is somebody who earns a living (or at least try's to) at their sport but now that we have NHL players in the Olympics it's all gone to shit. That's why we went with age categories. We may use pro and am categories next year as a skill level measuring stick for the competitors. It will make it more comfortable for skiers over 16 to compete if their not overly confident with their skill level, of course the prizing will be better in the pro category.

 
True, Darryl, but a lot of World Cup competitions are now giving hefty pay cheques to the winners. Not quite X-Games level, but getting up there.

 
really... i didn't know that. that's pretty good for them.

i think if it's age again you should include 16 sor it's 16 and under... 15 is kinda random for the cut off age...
