How do I get sponsored?

My friends tell me I'm really good at it and I do Dusty's almost every day. I've even won a competition or two but just don't know where all the beer-drinking scouts are. I'm not even choosey, I'd be willing to drink most brands if I got paid to(even if someone would buy the next round)

Also what size and brand is right for me?

    Skip the scouts. They only hang out at the invite only parties at the big events.

    Build up a reputation with the local rep for your favorite brands. These are the guys who sell the goods to the ski shops. Usually they are independent reps and rep for a few brands (maybe not everything you use.) They are also the guys that usually run the on-snow demos. They've got the hook-ups to get you super discounted stuff (maybe even free) and help you make the right contacts up the corporate level with the marketing boys back at the home office.

    True...you have to have some mad skills and be able to represent your sponsors, but a lot of it is about who you know as well.
