I have heard Dana Flahr is super super chill.

Seth is awesome in the few times i have met him.

Honestly...the one that stands out the most was Brad Holmes.  Ski movie I premier in boulder...I was 14, and he was super chill and talked with me and a few friends while everyone else was getting all fucked up and being a bit douchy around him....

seriously...he was in this nice armani suit, just super chill, getting stoked talking about skiing with three 14 year olds...that was pretty chill.

Hjorleifson for sure. On the glacier this summer, I was just sitting for a while because I had just taken a pretty bad fall to the head, and I was super cold because I thought it would be sunny that day so I didn't wear a jacket, he went and got a sweater out of his back pack and gave it to me to wear. I wasn't even a camper or anything, just some random guy.

Then I accidentally didn't give it back, so I feel like a jerk, haha.

Definitely Ingrid! Talked to her for a bit at the Powder Awards last January. She is really nice and sincere, plus she skis better than 99% of the pros out there and is gorgeous.

Colby is an ass when it gets to not building a jump onto a urban rail but other then that I'd have to say that he's an overall nice guy. He even came visti me when I was all broken up in an hospital (claim).

Then again, he made me laught when  laughing hurted more then  sticking a knife between my ribs so I guess he's not thatnice lol

Symmms is definitely up there. Overall good guy and nice to see some intelligence in the ski community.

Andy Mahre definitely seems like one of the more humble skiers I've ever met.

And of course the illustrious and dashing Witt Foster.

Rory Bushfield is pretty nice. Chill and easy to talk to, and really stoked even though he was hurt.

Iannick B was dope, as were Cosco and Dorey. Really nice people. I think skiers are generally like that. I'm talking about people who ski because it's their life, not because it's something to do. And NS is an exception, basically because talking shit on the internet is pretty fun sometimes.

this thead is pretty stupid. no one knows who is the nicest pro skier. because no one knows every pro skier. and if you met a pro once you wouldnt realy know if they are a nice person. They could have just made a nice first impression

WORD.  I think anyone on the Nimbus crew is like that.  They're all great, none of them really compete anymore they just go and film.  They have no reason to be cocky either because they're out there just having a blast, just going with what happens.

I was at the London Freeze and spoke to Matt Walker for about 10 minutes! He was so chilled and relaxed and talked to me about the UK and his plans for this season! Such a cool guy!
Also Richy Permin was sooo stoked on 3rd place he chatted for ages even though he is hard to understand being french but still a cool guy!
