I believe that the best skier in the world right now is the person having the most fun. Who cares about competitons(sp) or who can throw the craziest tricks, its about skiing with your buds, having fun chilling pumping each other up, or just plain having a great time. Or the best skier in the world could be the guy taking some sweet long carves on a perfectly groomed slope. The person having the most fun is the best skiers.

      But PHIL GALANT is the best in the world

 you gotta include pipe in that .... soo i think its either jossi.... Tanner... or Andreas...

Tom W is amazing but ive never ever seen him ride pipe... + he isnt as good as andreas.. at slope.

soo probably Andreas H..

Tom's ability at slope jumps rivals that of Andreas.  Big air?  Maybe not, but slope is not big air now is it.  In addition, it's probable that Tom could far outdo Andreas on rails, especially slope rails.

Are you sure about this one?  Because as much as I love Andreas - he's one of my favorites - I think Tom's got him beat here.

andreas can deff. hold his own on rails, but i think tom has him beat there, as said before i'd say there about even on slope jumps maybe andreas has a bit of an edge and in big air... no contest andreas.

I kinda wanna say andreas, but i don't know about his rail game, i guess the only time you ever see him on rails is like huge spins on and not so much everyday rails with pretzels and all sorts of switchups and stuff like you see most pro/am skiers. BUT, he does spin huge and smooth both ways so a big plus. But who knows i guess its all about who's attributes out weighs others in a personal opinion.

For sure, but you can't compete with Tom's rail game.  He's just so consistant, so tech, so quick, so nimble.  It's greatness.  Combined with his style and his jumps, which he can take big and look good, his skiing is pretty damn solid.

Idk what makes someone best.

most influential: Jon Olsson
smoothest (rails): Tom of Henrik
Best (jumps): PK or Jacob
Urban: Charles Gagnier
Most unique: Max Hill or Paco Garcia.

Maybe the best overall is Andreas though since he can do pretty much everything.

andreas can do just about anything on rails, both ways, its just hes not really in many edits to show it, and movies give a limited perspective on what he can do.

I'd go with Andreas.  Tom's a really good, stylish skier but in overall abilities including pipe, Andreas is likely the best.  Andreas is amazing at rails if you've ever seen him ski outside of movies or contests,  he's one of the more technical jump skiers, and a pretty decent pipe rider.

I'm sorry, Henrik is a great skier, but to name him the BEST park skier? Vanular, Hunder, Carlson, fucking Dumont honestly... I donno, I'm tired, but that's just to name a few. And let's be real folks, anyone who doesn't agree that Wallisch will be the single greatest park skier of all time is clearly doing something wrong with his life.
