As an ambassador for skiing no-one comes close to the exposure Tanner has given Freeskiing. He continues to innovate in the Backcountry and has been top of the half-pipe game for the best part of a decade.

T Wall is pushing skiing in another direction but I think as of yet he is relatively unknown outside of NS etc. Though I think we can expect great things in the future.

man this thread really pisses me off, yea wall have unbelieavable style but theres more to skiing than park, and urbans, and who wears the tallest t, there really is no comparision, and im gona go out on a limb and say your 14? sorry if im wrong, throw in some old ski movie look maybe 5-10+ years and just think before you post, tanner has done more for the sport that almost anybody well maybe except sal masekela

who is the better park skier? T-Wall obviously.

who is the better all-around skier? Tanner, hands down.

and who will have the biggest impact on freestyle skiing?

Undetermined, because each of them is taking the sport in different directions. Wallisch is pushing the bar in the park and becoming more and more innovative every season, from pretzels to afterbang. Tanner is bringing steeze to the backcountry, combining aspects of the newschool era with the roots of our sport, "skiing real mountains" as he likes to put it.
Both of them should spend more time in the other's area of expertise. Tom could definitely become a more rounded skier if he spent more time in the bc, which would improve his park skills too. Tanner has skied park and pipe for years, but in the past few seasons, he didn't spend much time skiing park and that could have been a factor in his most recent injury.
I hope that they both appreciate eachother's success and that the two directions that they are taking freestyle continue to thrive and feed off eachother.

Here's my reasoning: Sure Tanner has had a huge impact on skiing and probably will continue for a long time but he is doing some of the same stuff he's been doing but in the backcountry nothing really new for him and I'm not hating on him I just dont think he's gonna be able to take the sport much further. Tom has the style that everyone loves and is always helping push the sport further with new tricks and just all around style at everything, I think that someone is truly good if they cross barriers between skiers and snowboarders, such as Henrick watches Lucas Magoon to get amped to go ski Tom is one of the few skiers that does that for snowboarders. I totally respect both as great skiers that have changed what we know today as "Freestyle Skiing"

A couple things

1.  tanner can actually ski, make turns, carve etc. wallisch cant

2. Wallisch isn't the best at anything, if ur lookin at urban LJ is the man, or will wesson. And on jumps henrik rapes tom

3. the only thing wallisch has is urban and park, hes one dimensional

This is stupid. It's like comparing skiing and snowboarding, there 2 totally different sports. And these 2 are 2 totally different skiers.

Exactly. One is a park skier, the other can ski whatever the fuck he wants and still be the best at it. People forget that Tanner dominated park and urban for years before he got sick of destroying everyone and went off to try something new. If he'd wanted to continue I have no doubt he'd still be on top of it. Actually, if he wanted to put in the time to train, he could probably still come back to it and be on top again. The guy is just unstoppable and there is no comparison.

because no one  on ns can think for themselves and have to know who people like more so they can try there hardest to copy their style and then more people will llike them.

I agree with your post but most people dont have access to snow they cant go skiing so they make dumbass threads like this that have no answer because the two people cant really be compared because they both excel at different stuff.

T-Wall, although a great park skier, has many things to work on before being really compared to T-Hall.

Tom has jumps and rails. maybe even a few bc jump sessions, but I have never seen him really ski the mountain. No disrespect, but he is just a park rat with a lot of steeze.

Tanner has the jumps, the rails, the pipe, bc jumps, and bc skiing. He started out in moguls, which as many know, if you know how to ski moguls, you can ski anything. He has the doubles, he has flats, and he has plenty of steeze to go around. The fact that he is still going after the injuries he's had (broken ankles on chads, and he is making good progress with two broken legs this spring) and all the competitions he has won, and all the movie segments he has had... there is no comparing the two.




yet.

Just because NS is all over his dick doesn't mean he is on top. He has won a few comps had a few good seggys and is a good skier but nowhere near Tanner. Parry was/is right Tom will never be a Tanner nor do I think he is trying to be he is just skiing. People need to get over that, tom isnt trying to be the next tanner im sure of it.

No one call for the hate on him, he has had his influence on skiing as well. everyone who skis has some influence on skiing whether or not the realize it.

personally, i dont think it was ever the T-Hall era. It justs seems like it was because nonskiers still know his name. But true newschoolers know who T-Wall is and what he has done with skiing. No hate for T-Hall i like the guy i just dont think it was ever him in the true spotlight

such a stupid ass comment, your little mind has been twisted kid! Tanner has been top level in park, pipe, handrails, bc jumps, and all types of pow skiing. Being good at all of those is much more difficult than being the best at one of them.
