How much do pro's make on average ?

Anywhere from -$x,xxx to $50,000+ a year. Most money comes in in forms of free gear, paid travel expenses, and tax writeoffs; however a LOT of money needs to be spent out of pocket. Even the best pros can goof up, miss a final cut in a competition, and miss out on valuable $$ purse. If you need actual statistical figures, you may want to check in at the IRS.

$50,000 is a VERY conservative figure for the best of the best of snowboarding. With free equipment (the best in the world), to endorsement deals, to the cash won at tourney's I would have to say the best make double that figure easy. The "Flying Tomato" (Shaun White) has a movie out and has been on every talk show I can think of after he won gold in the '06 Half-Pipe (he came right back home for training).

His web site http://www.shaunwhite.com really blows and I could not get much information from there. I will try to keep everyone updated as a LOT of "snowboarding web sites" are just junk. This is one site that actually is cool!

Thanks Frosty!
