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.

Mike D is sick, but he doesn't worry about style at all. So I'd that yes, he is unique, for not jumping on the style wagon. He skis like everyone did at the beginning of the movement. I like watching his shit.

he my not be the best, or youngest, skier out there, but ,weather you like what he does or not, there is no denying that shane mcConkey is one of the most inovative skiers around. he is always expirimenting with something new. yeah alot of it is really dumb but the guy diserves mad props for actualy coming up with and trying that shit, it allways makes me do a double-take.

word. i get more of a rush watching relative unknowns killin it. not that becker is unknown but hes not overhyped...yet. same with heed, altho hes gettin there. i just saw some stuff of witt foster, and that made me all warm and fuzzy inside too to know sick kids come outta east coast as well, even when they stay here.

I was reading this thread and thinking, "What the hell, did everyone forget about McConkey?"

He's doing crazy shit like the ski-base jumping, and that's what most people see. However, I think people forget that he actually is a crazy big mountain skiier.

The way he skis is perfect. It's stylish, not hucking, creative, interesting... many things that I don't get from a lot of others.
