Had the pleasure of meeting Travis on the cable car one bluebird pow day. Spent the day showing him around and trying to keep up. Nice dude

Cool series. Ganong could have a legit freeskiing career post-racing, a la Rahlves, Nobis et al. Super well-rounded skier.

If there was money in Freeskiing, it would be dominated by former WC racers.

Back in the 80’s we had a huge storm that canceled the men’s WC Downhill.
I’ll never forget watching Pirmin Zurbriggen absolutely rip the shit out of Last Dollar, while carrying his 223 race skis on his shoulder.

If I had a dollar for every time capitalism was blamed for problems caused by the government I'd be a rich fat film maker in a baseball hat.

Maybe, maybe not. But none have and they're certainly not all rich. On the other hand freestyle skiers have successfully made the switch. Quite a few, probably even the majority, raced competitively at some level but decided it wasn't for them. Look at Markus Eder (he was the first search i did). He started with racing competitively but despite early successes switched to freestyle. Then he moved more into freeskiing with fantastic success.
I would also say there are at least as many freeskiers making a good living as there are racers, although the top end racers probably make considerably more than the top end freeskiers. At what cost?powdork.com - new and improved, with 20% more dork.
