I know that a few big names have come out of montana, but who are the top all-time to present day skiers ever to come from the 406?

Well he asked for big names, so i would probably say just Tanner, you say any of those other names and the typical american would say who?  You say Tanner Hall and a typical American would say, " ah yeah hes in the X games.

Big names: Tanner Hall, Wiley Miller
Other names: Tim McChesney, Shay Lee, Mitch Gilman, David Steele, Danner Pickering, Cody Perin, Luke Perin, Brock Paddock, AJ Meldhal. Maybe Delorme, Kyler Cooley, and Dylan Natale, not really sure about those three though.

Tanner Hall, and some people I probably have not heard of. 

Montana has some steep mountains, so it will definitely produce some great skiers.

you don't "become" a local, brah... local means born and raised.

And ya, I'm from SV, Idaho, not Montana. And Delorme is definitely from Kalispell. Montana is a damn good place to ski, that's for sure.

i disagree.

you can become a local if you have lived in that place long enough. do you consider yourself a local at your home resort because i do and i sure as hell have not lived here my whole life.

i disagree.

I only consider myself a "local" when I am at my HOME mountain of Sun Valley, Idaho. No matter how long I ride Alta and live in SLC, I will never be a local.

One of my biggest petpeeves growing up was hearing people call themselves locals after living somewhere for only a couple years. When you grow up in a place, or at least go to high school there, then you can be a local.

sorry to shatter the delusions of everyone who came from a city or somewhere with no skiing...
