It's probably been asked before, but what I'm getting at is not necessarily the just the skills they have but how stoked they are on their job and how much fun they have etc,

Personally I would be Pete O. That guy parties more than he skis nearly! You gotta love his blog too!

I have really liked the segments Ian Macintosh has been pumping out the past few years, but without mixing the talents of various skiers, I'd say Eric Horjleifson best represents where I want to be skiing wise... well, alright, I lied, Eric's line choice, but with moderate rail skills, such as my own. So, Eric's line choice on the mountain, and as far as park skiing goes, I'm happy with where I am at.

Is that an acceptable answer?

to have the skills, probably tom or henrik or possibly LJ because just think how fun it would be to actually be able to do some of those tricks.

but to just have the life, probably dumont cuz he could basically go ski wherever he wants

funny how people make their choice, some want to be a certain skier for their skiing ability, some for their mindset, some for the fact that they're NS famous and some because they wish they were someone "cooler" or living a life thats better than their own
interesting...

i think that that is why fashion has become a bigger part of skiing than ever before. Skill in skiing is measured in different ways, but when you dress like a pro, have the style of a pro, or get as "doo-doo dumb" and as "hyphy" as the pros do, you live vicariously through what they do, and many more directionless skiiers feel like they are a bigger deal than they actually are

I dont think that that made sense, but w/e

Bullshit.  He just did that double in Whistler.  He's been training really hard, and he's sick.  He's had both switch 10's since anybody did, and he can put down sick pipe and slope runs.  He's podiumed X Games, put out sick segments with Level 1 and Poorboyz, and he is an innovator in many ways.Sorry for partying.

^ yea Jossi's dope it'd be so fun to have awsome brothers like that
TJ's pretty damn cool too so I think its a tie for me

I'm surprised at the variety of skiers mentioned here, I thought it be a suck-T-Walls-dick-fest
Not saying he's not a good skier because he can throw down no doubt but NS sucks him off way to much

laurant favre because he sends it on every jump, or Jon just to be rich and sick. Tough choices, Maybe Plake because he's retired and already made his ski money and he can just chill and do whatever. Bode also seems like he has an awesome life, and he's related to a cop killer. Yea, probably Bode.

Probably either Pollard or Pep. Shredding pow all over the world with such amazing style and a refreshing outlook on life/skiing is exactly what I'd be after. They're not pushing boundaries with how many spins but more pushing the creativity. I envy their lives.

definitely eric pollard.  he can have line make him any ski he can possibly dream up, and they'll even put his art on the topsheet.  and he travels all over the world with his friends and his wife.  and his wife takes photos of him ripping with the skis he made and the graphics he painted..
