Are you kidding? Jon Olsson makes bank he could easily afford it. That being said he makes bank from people promoting him, thus he doesn't have to pay for shit like jumps and redbull, durr.
Jon Olsson triple.....suspicion?????

his lamborghini says otherwise.
I can confirm for you Treble Cone spent very very little on the jump. The cat hours were not charged out at full rate, but they weren't losing money on it.Jon lives in Monaco, he's making over a million a year with all thing considered... Not necessarily directly through skiing.He will have recouped money on the jump expenditure from sponsors promotional material generated and also through leasing the rights to hit it to others, two snowboard crews attempted to hit it.
In reality though, Jon spending $50k nz is nothing, he's earning euro which diminishes the cost significantly add to that learning a tripple would keep him in the top of the sport for another 18 months minimum, thus he retains sponsorship, generates more exposure and earns more. You've got to spend money to make money.

This topic comes up again and again, re: how much Jon makes.
Here's an article from a Swedish business magazine that will give a better idea of how much he earns (and how hard he works). The man makes good money. Spends a lot, too.

Thought I could help out with some facts without saying to much... ;-)
A super features requires about 50-100 hours of cat time depending on how far you have to farm the snow.
A snow cat costs between 100-200 euros/h, so whit this in mind I think the 50k is a little high...
Interesting speculations though... ;-)

Cheers Jon, thanks for clearing that up.
It annoys me tremendously that no one has bothered to do the quite simple math math on this issue yet.
I mean, think about it. If a jump that size cost 50 g's, then think about what a park like Breck would cost. Their big jump line jumps may not be as big, but there's 3 of them, and multiple other jump lines, pipe, jibs etc. That means just constructing the park would cost, let's say 500 g's. Add groomin and shaping costs throughout the season, and you get an ridicolous amount of money, which im quite sure Breck would never spend from the simple reason that they could never make it back.
I remember the head whistler shaper saying that they were gonna spend 250k on their park this year, i guess that should put it into perspective for you guys, seeing that whistler is one of the biggest parks in the world.
