I'm getting hated on super hard over at TGR for basically telling them they're all delusional in making their lists of the top "all around" skiers, ie skiers who can do everything... Curious to see if Newschoolers is equally out to lunch in their perspective on these matters. Who is at the top of the sport right now when you consider all aspects of it in your opinion?

Go.

I say yes. Because kye peterson skied the exit couloir on the rond at the age of 14 or 15 and i don't think there would be many kids at that age, stepping up to ski that line.

All-around is not park/pipe only, same as claiming Hugo Harrison is the best all around skier.

Thovex and Windstedt are obvious choices this year, amazing big mountain skill and also great at juming/park,probably give Thovex the edge there as he has more recent jumping/park stuff. I would put Sage, Hoji, Abma up there, they slay big mountain and are competent in the park and rails. Then you have Sean Pettit and Tudor who are stepping up big time in big mountain and are also very good in park stuff.

Seth is my favourite skier to watch, and he just flat out slays and has been doing so for about 15 years on film now. Pretty sure he competed in x-games big air, and has a few rail shots way back in the day, but that is not what he does now.
