yeah, of course there are a lot of big mountain skiers who are better than tanner, i was just saying that he is a really well rounded skier, top of the game in pipe, killing it in the park, and can hold his own anywhere on the mountain

In the last 10 years... for there times...

1. Tanner Hall, indefinately because of how much hes pioneered this sport today

2. Dave Crichton cause 3 years ago he was the fuckin man, and was easily the best pipe skier and destroyed the shit out of park... (only reason he didnt win X games pipe that one year is cause his ski popped off on the 10 he still landed it clean though but the judges decided to be gay about it.)

3. Mik D back in the day he destroyed everyone that year, and threw the cleanest switch 10 *over a transfer* i have ever witnessed, and fuckin oozes style like no other

Im a park rat so those are my top 3 someone who skis BC mostly may have a completely different opinion

It all depends on what discipline you favor... but as far as raw talent and dedication goes no question Tanner Hall. He slays no matter where he goes on the mountain... yes, there are a few who are better than him in park, a handful who are better in the BC, and a few who kinda rival him in pipe (but not really)... overall though, he is the King.

There is no "best," because as has been said already, there are different facets of skiing. Mark Abma and Tanner Hall kill it everywhere, and at a high level. Eric Hjorleifson kills it SOO hard in the big mountains, and can still throw down big cork 7's. Hugo used to charge jaw droppingly hard. After being broken for like 3 years, he's not skiing at as high a level as he used to. Then there's Seth, who's quite simply an icon.

My three would be...

Tanner Hall - Park, pipe, bc, bumps, he can rip them all.

JP Auclair - See above.

Seth Morrison - He is Seth.

in order:

1. Scott Vail because he is god

2. Tanner because he slays so much and has progressed the sport so much

3. Jon because he is so well rounded, from double flips to racing
