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).

Pollard is the first one to come to mind. So fluid, smooth, and everything he does looks fun.

Candide makes everything look good too. I really loved that edit from last season.

The Nimbus crew by far has the best style in pow. Tons of other pros can take park tricks to the backcountry and charge everything, but the nimbus crew seems to completely concentrate on progressing style in pow and that includes how they actually ski it.

Well that's a first.

No hate to Spriggs, but his style is ugly. I guess it's not his own fault though, with him being so tall

I agree.  He had fewer shots this year.  They were still sick, but not as good as Claim or SSD.  That spine wall he skis at the end of SSD is one of the sickest I have ever seen.

Thank you someone said it.  That kid had an amazing season and his style is flawless.    Watch the extras of "In Deep"

NOT TRUE, u may hate Spriggs in tha park, but in the pow, no one has the same style.... he's fucking tall as shit there for he can bounce around in the pow and he's got the most leverage so he can stomp better den anyone. just cuz he doesn't have a filmer with him all the time he may not make the best segments but with out a doubt he's got a good style!!! he just needs some 210cm reverse cambers and he'll be da best one day!

Dylan Natale has had some decent segments the past couple of years w/booters into pow that i enjoyed.  Hes not the best but I definitely emulated his switch landings in pow pow
