Damn, you just had to narrow it down to ski teams, didn't you? The A-team would probably still be the best anyway....hehe. I'd say either Armada for having a really good overall team, or K2 for having Seth and Pep, among others.

Pollard could take them all!

No, I'd probably say armada but k2 a close second with Morrison, Abma, Fujas, Mahre, Turpin, Bibby, Silva, West, Petit

k2 for sure... pep single handidly owns all of armada's team, plus, mahre, benchetler, seth, all the ledgends, colby west...

googles
oakley for overall - pep, jon, tanner, seth, hugo... smith or spy are really close

clothing - prolly Oakley again... DNA and Helly are close

quit saying armada... their roster isnt deep. they have 4, and 3 are technically "AMs" but they are a good 4... tanner, tj, jakob and grete... they had zach d, but he blew out his knee which sucks really bad. the rest are ledgends, as cool as they are, would get owned by a lot of kids... i am not saying armada's team sucks, i just think they would get owned by dynastar, k2, 4frnt, and some indie ski companies

this is definately a hard question if your talking about a SKI team that makes skis (the company) then I would have to say definately Dynastar

salomon used to be loaded. Armada would be the best as of current. But salomon still has some old and new talent coming.

people laugh at salo, but last i checked they had dumount and carlson, olenick, those three always score well, and of course CR, im probably missing a few too,

Salo a few years ago, fuck man, candide, cr, vincent, olenick, dumount, at one point jp and sooo many.

^ definatley dope guys and without them our sport wouldnt be near where it is today, and JP can still rip some big mtn lines and Anthony can still do some 3s off some cliffs... but compared to the actual new talent surge, they cant compete. if you put pep up against any one of the armada ledgends... they would get straight up owned, cept maybe auclair might be close in big mountain lines without cliffs in them... and pep is good in the park, but the best in the park, like vanular... it wouldnt even be a contest in a slopestyle between vanular and any of the armada ledgends...

armada-tanner, Tj, JP, Julien, Ant, boyd
K2-pep, seth, mcconkey, mahre, bentlechter, west
4frnt-sterbenz, spence, dorion, karlstrom

K2 would dominate. pep would own everyone.

"Rip some big mtn lines"?! Try "Skier of the year" there. 3s off cliffs? Try "Switch Right 9s in the BC with better style than anyone in this industry". Seriously, you presented your worthless opinion like the thousands of other morons on thsi site now quit attacking other peoples... maybe if you made some sense it'd be okay, but as it is youre just a flaming retard and need to shut your mouth before you remove any doubt that there is hope left for you.

Youre a fucking idiot if you think even Pep could take JP in the big mountain. Pep is the best freeskier in the world, straight up. But this is because he hits shit both ways, lands switch in pow, does some hardcore urban shit both ways AND skis big mountain competently. But no, he's not better than JP ripping lines. And for sheer style I'd put Tony up against him or anyone else on BC booters.

Short story, youre a useless moron who talks way too much for his own good and until you learn something about skiing, shut the fuck up.

God I cant get over how STUPID this comment was... Please go kill yourself in some way that will hurt, or if you cant do us that favor, at least promise to never ski or speak again.

salomon, always has been the best team man, how could you neglect it. Do not base the best team off of whose riders have the "coolest" video segments. Look at more raw achievements like the ability to compete under pressure AKA Simon Dumont Xgames Pipe or Gagnier Xgames slopestyle.
