whats the most bad ass person you have ever skied with?

I skied with a telemark skier who had just gotten back from Iraq and was skiing on a broken foot. He was shredding harder than i was i had no idea about his foot until later.

Craig Panarisi.  Snowbird guy.  Tellier.  No ACL or MCL in either knee.  We skied an OB chute near Vail with mandatory 25 foot drop over ice fall.  He skied it on teles, with no poles, holding a big heavy old VHF camera.  I was in awe.

Tom Spencer. 75 year old legend... god father of freestyle skiing. First guy to make the cover of ski magazines doing fresstyle tricks. Made the sport what it is with guys like Shane McConkey's dad. He schooled me. Insane. So inspiring...

my friend parker. he is a beast, this is his first year skiing park and he doesnt have twin tips yet, but that didnt stop him from taking the worst beating i've ever seen on these wooden rails at my home mountain. he fell so hard every time, took some aspirin and did it again. I wish i was that fearless my first year.

that sounds pretty bad ass to me, and he was probably in shock, so he would not have known.
