Best: Seth Morrison, Candide Thovex (based on his riding in that trailer for Kandid Kamera)

Worst: M. Douglas... dude looks so stiff. Hate his style and cant stand watch him ski pow (great guy though).

Look at how he spelt it an in caps. Pretty sure it was.

Tanner and CR also have pretty sick style in the powder. My vote still goes to Pep though.

Fujas or Pollard take the cake for me. Love the smoothness.

Candide's skiing in Candide Kamera pt. 1 was ridiculously awesome as well.

I don't dislike Douglas' style though. He rips pretty hard.

For steez:
Pep, Benchetler, Mahre, Tanner Hall, CR, Abma and Pollard.

For how they charge balls to the wall:
Seth Morrison, Hugo Harrison, and Dan Treadway.

Treadway could possibly be on both lists. My personal favorite for the steeze guys is Pep Fujas.

hmm its a toss up really tim durtchi, tudor has some sick pow style but salomon needs to make a ski that the pros can land switch with so Dane can start doing that..but pollard and pep too. O and chris benchetler too! almost forgot.

everyone keeps naming names which is all well and good, but that is not getting us anywhere. Every skier mentioned so far kills it. (Mike Douglas does too for that matter). But I think shots that back up your pick will make this way more sweet to read through...

Were you trying to say Obama? Cause I don't think he skis.

Just joking, Abma is a damn good skier though.

Definitely Bibby too.  His Turbo part was way better than Refresh though.

I agree. His segment in 7 sunny days was rediculous. Unfortunately he didn't get very many of his shots put in In Deep.

Nimbus crew takes the cake.

How am I the first to say this, but Sean Decker kills it too. One of my favorite edits ever:
