Tim Durtschi in Reasons and Wiley Miller in Turbo. Two dudes that absolutely killed the BC booters last year, but who's top dog?

Miller, hands down. Miller can actually ski, Durtschi looks like a kook. Some of those pillow shots in Reasons are just brutal.

Mr. Ager is leaps and bounds above anybody else right now when it comes to Backcountry.
sorry but while Both Tim Durtschi and Willey Miller are both great at BC jumps, and Willey is also a really damn good skier, neither can touch Charlie Ager's segment in Journal. I would say that Charlie Ager was one of the two people who pushed the sport the most last year, the other one being Dana Flahr and what he did in AK this year. Dana pushed Big mountain, at the level that Nobis did in Further and Charlie pushed Backcountry skiing the most it has ever been pushed.

Wiley Miller for sure, everything is so much smoother than what Durtschi did.  Sure, as someone mentioned above Durtschi may have gotten a switch 10, but his pillow line had a few huge backslaps.  Either way, they are both really talented, its just hard to compare because Wiley has been primarily a BC jump guy for a few years, where as Durtschi is just starting to focus on it.

really not sure how this applies... hes a fucking sick skiier

its really hard to choose one, both have blown me away with their backcountry shit... i think miller has a bit more style (prolly from doing it longer) but i really like Tims creativity... i think i would rather watch his segment than millers... i dont really like these comparing 2 skiier threads but this one is fucking a toughy

oh boy... definately 2 of the baddest-ass backcountry skiers on the come up.  While I love what Wiley does, and I think he hits the illest BC booters and lines, I think Durt-ski has the upper hand on tricks, style, and the switch thang.  No disrespect, Wiley and Durtschi happen to be 2 of my favorite'est skiers

Wiley killed it in Enjoy but... Switch 1080 BOTH WAYS in the BC? He can't even compete with Durtschi any more.
