Ski Gear Recommendations Influencer Advice or Hidden AdvertisingAre ski influencers giving honest advice… or pushing gear for commission?

In this week’s Inside Edge Skiing Podcast, we dive into the world of ski influencers — the good, the bad, and the ones who suddenly switch ski brands because there’s a referral code waiting in their inbox.

We talk about:

❄️ Why some influencers don’t declare paid partnerships

🎿 How referral codes and commissions actually work

🔄 The sudden “brand swap” phenomenon

🧊 Why transparency matters for skiers trying to choose the right gear

📢 And the importance of knowing who’s giving real advice vs who’s giving paid adviceContext note:

This episode was recorded on 17 November. Shortly afterwards, one of the influencers mentioned publicly disclosed that they do receive payment for promoting a specific ski brand — timing, eh?

Whether you’re buying skis, boots, or any gear this winter, this episode gives you the insider’s perspective on what to watch out for before spending your hard-earned money.
