Hans and Nils Mindnich are officially on the Salomon Snowboards AM program. Which appears to be a good deal for everyone. Here’s what Salomon says:
Hans and Nils Mindnich happen to be brothers, but they also happen to be two of the most stylish up and coming snowboarders out there right now. When these guys strap in you never know what is going to happen, but you park it in a good spot to watch because one thing is for sure, it’s going to be wildly entertaining.
Sounds like high fives are in order all around.

Sometimes it’s just better to keep total and complete control over your brand than to cash the check, then again, cashing checks is what the Olympics are all about. Cha-cha-cha-ching.
