Skiing has really progressed in then last few years, I mean that it is growing nearly as fast as technology. Every month it seems like mind blowing trick is coming out, whether it be a switch up on a rail or a twisted out cork, the new styles that are at hand are amazing, the only way this sporty can go is up, and I feel so good just knowing where this sport came from. , Riders life style for life.

Your best bet would be to find a copy of 13, or Degenerates, and watch them.

Anyways, a few names that come to mind:

- Mike Douglas
- JF Cusson
- JP Auclair
- Marc McDonnel
- Vincent Dorion
- Philou Poirier
- Shane Szocs
- Josh Loubek
- Toben Sutherland
- Shane Anderson
- Rex Thomas
- Evan Raps
- Brad Holmes
- Skogen Sprang
- Shane McConkey

The list goes on....

That can probably help. Especially the interview with J Lev, the one on Julien Regnier, and Parkasaurus.
