World Pro Ski Tour Pays

There is no doubt that the World Pro Ski Tour is both exciting and engaging. Since its return in 2017, the WPST has experienced a rapid evolution.  One of the most significant changes has been the growth in prize money. Notably, during the 2021/22 season, 56 competitors, 39 men and 17 women, shared $423,050. 

Jon Franklin, CEO of the WPST, says it best: “The goal of the revitalized World Pro Ski Tour is to provide significant income-producing opportunities for alpine ski racers, men and women, through the promotion of a dynamic professional sports league.” He continues, ” WPST is truly “open” to anyone who wants to race. No memberships required, no minimum world rank needed and no FIS politics. Pay an entry, race the qualifier, and if you are fast you get paid.”  

Head-to-head racing is easy to understand and, unlike FIS racing, easy to realize who is winning. Each battle is uniquely between two racers, and the winner advances to the next round where they face a different competitor. Eventually, only two remain. Consequently, the final dual determines the event champion and who receives the lion’s share of the prize money.

Undoubtedly the charts reveal that the World Pro Ski Tour is financially attractive.

Significantly, U.S. Ski Team elite FIS World Cup racer and Olympian Paula Moltzan won more than double her season’s FIS prize money in a single WPST Taos New Mexico weekend.
