I agree that tech is a very fluid term in these types of contexts.. Both skiers bring their own form of it, which is preferred is simply personal preference. Although on the purely jibbing side of things, Bobby can take a seat.
To answer your question, I think many similar sports to skiing have athletes across the spectrum of technicality and style. The most harmonious combination of the two usually being the most favored. The difficulty is that "style" and more recently "tech" have become very subjective words.
Eventually my hope is that skiing will move closer to snowboarding where more skiers will be able to become "pro" without competition skiing or necessarily hitting enormous kickers and spinning 12+ and those skiers will still be considered tech and stylish in their own right.
