Not sure why people are naming Level 1 athletes and the TC crew. All super sick but definitely getting recognition all the time from this website.

Real underrated skiers: Spong, Ware, Holson, KZA,

Wayyyyy to many sadly. Seems like a dearth of filmers/photographers out there riding with them too, it seriously only takes a good rider/filmer pact to secure a little fame and sponsorship. All you photog people better be listening.

this thread should just become a B Locke thread. He has every trick that you can think of both ways, not to mention hiss backcountry skills are killer, and he skis around in some beat to hell boots and some rossis that have only 60 % of their metal edge.

i just wanna say... in my opinion people from level 1, PBP, 4bi9 and the skiing shows like TC arnt underrated. everybody knows who they are and everybody watches each and every episode or edit they put on NS.

what i have seen, if you are really good, like 99% of all the people mentioned above you get to ski allot and have allot of fun with your friends, and get to edit really nice edits... that everybody watches...

a lot of european skiiers are heavily underrated. i had never heard of most of those who competed in 9 knights this year, but everyone killed it with super sick doubles and style

dub flat 10, dub underflip 10, dub cork 12s.....
