Getting rich was not really my motivation when I started thinking about the problem of safe carving-like dry surface ski. As I mentioned earlier having short ski seasons is quite a pain especially after moving to Australia from Europe where I spent best part of my life and could ski from December to April. Anyway, I realise that this is not the kind of business that you can make millions on but I'd be happy if I could make in it similar money that I am getting from my IT job. After spending 20 years in the IT industry I'm definitely more passionate about skiing than my profession.
