JP, such a down to earth man. I think in Reasons (not sure) someone said that if they had to ski with one person for the rest of their life it would be JP because he is such a relaxed and nice person

TJ is super nice, and yeah Hornbeck is too... I really like Colby West as a person, but I'd say PK is one of the nicest.  Wallisch is super chill.

In my experience it has been Seth.  He always answers my questions, and has commented on my videos before.

I haven't met a ton of pro skiers (more snowboarders) but I spent a night with Lesh hitting our S-rail (Such Is Life) and he was a super cool down to earth guy. And of course, Schmies is a super rad guy as well.

nice username, haha.  Yeah Bobby is soo nice... This threads hard, because most of the pros I've met are super chill.  John Symms, is really nice too, haven't seen his name yet.

all the pros kinda have to be nice because they rep who they ride and shoot for so if there dicks no ones gonna like em and buy their shit. but you can tell some are sincere and some are just playing the game.

i'd say benchetler, durring an autograph session i asked if he was stoked on the bent chetlers and he looked sooo stoked that i knew what they were and we talked about them for a while. real nice guy.

i'd also have to say time russel and luke van valin are dope.

(CLAIM) my friend had a 5 dollar bowling bet with sammy carlson and after hours of calling eachother pussy's and other degrading names my friend ended up with a 5 dollar bill that says "you know dis be mine" and signed it. even though he lost the bowling game.

Sammy. He always has a smile when I see him in Oregon. Looks like he keeps it real with his hometown friends. Much respect for that.

Colby West, even though all skiers seem nice and not to many seem cocky like a lot of snowboarders do. Hornbeck never struck me as the nice type, probly his image and that thread about him beating up a snowboard opening day but hes one of my favorite skiers so, one more thing to make him better

Eric Ross Pollard

I heard Colby is a douche bag. A guy i know rode the lift with him a couple times at Snow Park and he said that he just thinks he's the shit.

Colby was super nice at Momentum, but at Icer Air he was ignoring people when they were trying to talk to him. One of the nicest people I've ever met is Dana Flahr no doubt.
