Creighton has to be somewhere in there. he was way ahead of his time with the style that he had, especially in Forward.

JP Auclair, David Crichton, Tanner Hall, Jon Olsson and Candide Thovex would be at that meeting.

If there was a meeting of the 5 greatest skiers of all time, Tanner Hall would be there. I think it is finally safe enough to say that.

Did this not happen with a movie called Session 1242?


I would add Anthony Boronowski (spelling may be butchered) as a wild card personally because i remember how groundbreaking Freeze was saying how spun both ways.

So my list would go.....
Hall
Thovex
Auclair
Fujas
Boronowski (spelling bad once again)
