Sage Catabriga-Alosa

He is a skier's skier.  Just skis for the sake of skiing and doesn't care about all the hype

Oh and Jon Olsson because he is one of the hardest workers in the ski industry.  I think he's a robot and doesn't require food or sleep

i agree, both work so hard to be as good as they are. unfortunately, there are going to be some brady-haters to ruin the respekt.

Wallisch, i mean its really cliche but him and 4bi9 have been bringing alot of new flavor to skiing in general. i mean, look at the hand drag. point made.

Sammy, mainly because he has his own very unique style that i love. Seth and Pep, because they are just awesome, no bullshit guys, they ski for the sake of skiing. Shane Maconkey(sp?) because he progressed the sport so much, and he pretty much just did it for the fun of it. Plus he is such a goofy guy.
