Most Unique and interesting skier:

To me this question means:

Who is the most unique, interesting and pleasureable to watch skiing.

I say Pollard. All I've seen this year is what's on the Helly Hansen website, but that was enough to seal the deal for me.

His skiing is my definition of perfect.

I think Colby West might be the most unique and arguably the most interesting just based on the weird shit he does sometimes, but I wouldn't call him the best to watch by any means.

I think Blake Nyman is a super interesting the first time I saw him was at last years US open he was wearing tight brown wranglers and then all of his gear had weird polotical and anti-conformist stuff written all over it then his skiing just kills it, his ski style is like no one elses

mick d period. his switch corks are definitally the most original style i have ever seen. i just hope he acually skis this year and puts together a long seggy. maybe ninthward will bring something out in him.

Mik D. for me, because he takes the whole 'gangsta' steeze and amplifies it. Some cats wear just little bandanas and such, but Mik bangs around with a gat and like two or three du-rags...plus one on his head.
Put I'm also always stoked to see something by Jon for his nose grabs, and Belanger has always done his own shit.
I like anyone with sweet clothes though......

yeah i forgot belan because i havent watched him in quite some time. he is definitally the best pipe skier around and nobody really rides the same way that he does. mik and belan are in my opinion the most unique skiers around.

candide definately has one of the more unique styles - anybody who has ever seen a vid or pic of him could point him out.

for most fun to watch though i have to go with ganier. few skiers spin both ways as smooth as him, and he just destroys on rails too. he's just so smooth in all aspects of his skiing.

yep, always taking it to new levels and it seems he has a dif hair color for every new cliff he stomps. PLUS, what most people dont know about Seth unless they see him at a local resort is he rips through the pipe and can slide some rails too.

Pollard and Seth, hands down. Those are the two I thought of before I even clicked on the link so no "bandwagon" comments.
