Orage masters

[TheCrowIsBack]

"Known as the anti-comp, the Masters was created to bring fun and excitement back into skiing and does so by offering a format that no other contest has been able to repeat".

This is what they say to sell/promote their event but word on the street is that they're asking each ski company a 10 000$ registration fee.

Ski companies already pay athletes, their traveling expenses, video segments and so on.

Now they have to pay to promote their competitor's events?

After ditching half their team riders last season, now this?

To me it looks like strange business ethics... No?

Looking forward to your comments.

i think that skiing is sooooo fun

The pro's are grouped by ski company so I assume they are the ones paying the registration fee. Orage makes outerwear so they're not really the compitition.

do you have any clue how much it costs to build a course....cat time, moving snow???? park crew, patrol???

or prizes?

most likely not....

^^^ yea man, to run a cat is like 300 a hour, plus snow making and personel, a comp this size is costly

 

[Lineskier-101]

I think that sounds pretty cheap.

its a business. they would lose money if they didnt charge. now who is into losing money?

It's the biggest ski party of the year they better make it fat with fees like that. Not to mention the huge promotions aspect and advertising the brands get out of participating.
