The color of the slopes Eetu Isometsä, 28, presented yet another new competition outfit at the Kuopio Ski Championships.
However, the skier who often competed in his father Jari Isometsä’s old outfits did not wear a retro suit this time.
Instead, the new red and white colors were on top.
– This season, a new club, Kuusamo’s Erä-Veikot, came, so you have to represent in SC skiing. I wonder if someone will dig out Dad’s old suit at some point, Isometsä smiled.
– There are still a few outfits left that have not been presented. Let’s give the people what they want.
Money talk

Isometsä is a professional golfer, amateur skier and endurance sports coach.
His father glowed last spring Stopthat the boy’s coaching business is going “pretty strong”.
Eetu Isometsä makes fun of his father’s speeches.
– At least we have skiers who go hard! It is said that, run by one man, it is a perfectly sized company. We have bigger lafkas in Finland, but it has been really good for my life situation.
– I can be 85 percent a professional athlete, and the remaining 15 percent comes from coaching.

Isometsä has never made much money from skiing.
– I must have received one prize money.
Father Jari also coaches his son in the company.
Are you your father’s boss?
– Father helps if there are bigger gigs. I will borrow subcontractor services from him if the need arises. You’re not going to be a boss.
Big boom

The company’s cash flows are largely determined by what kind of skiing boom is going on in Finland at any given time.
– Now you immediately notice in the demand when the snow came to Southern Finland. The calendar is fully booked for the next three weeks. The early winter was very quiet. The season is short.
Isometsä doesn’t have to invest in golf all year round, even though he is a professional in the sport.
– When it comes to skill sports, you don’t need to practice that much during the winter, unless you want to improve tremendously. The base was created sometimes as a joke, so now we are developing those little things.
