may I just point out the "Australian" mogul skier left Canada at 15, sat out a year because he did not wish to be in the Canadian team training. Not because he wasn't good enough but did not like their system.

He now has one Olympic gold and a this Olympics silver and 3 world cups.. Is very involved in bringing new skiers of many countries through the ranks..

He also is well off enough not to need sponsorship. In fact gave the world cup winnings last year away to Haiti..
