We’ve seen skiers selling cars. We’ve seen skiers selling off-road vehicles. Now, breaking new ground as they always do, Finnish Ski crew Real SkiFi has changed the game and landed themselves a tractor sponsor.

This collab opens up entirely new fields (literally?) of non-endemic sponsorship for skiers. Has anyone ever sent John Deere or Kubota a concept pitch? The more I think about it, the better it seems. After all, a tractor seems like a street skier’s dream tool: a plow, a winch, a tow or even a feature, all in one convenient, multi-ton package.

Coming up next week: the Swiss crew Buldozlife announces a partnership with Komatsu.

A paid collaboration with Valtra. Last winter the folks at Valtra asked us to join them in celebrating the launch of their new G series tractors. They were curious if we could do some tricks with, over and off the tractors. They pretty much said we could do whatever we want. We said yes.
