100% Agree. The guys on another level, every video I've seen of him this year has blown my mind.

Is this the same NS that claims "we need to stop hucking spins and trips are bad for skiing"? In all honesty though, he's a great skier but his big spins look really hucked to me, style is nothing out of this world, etc. However, you NS'ers are in for quite the surprise when Parker White's segment drops. So much fucking style, same with Chris Logan, hell all of Montage is/has been murdering.

That would make it a much less impressive "prediction". Then it's more of just an "opinion".

I guess, but how can we predict without seeing some skiing? I guess we have seen some sammy skiing, but I dont think he'll win SOTY, seeing how many good skiers did amazing things this year.

So 3 years ago, I was with my uncle and sister skiing on Aspen mountain during the xgames when a guy hopped on the gondi with us,who turned out to be an editor of Free skier magazine. We were discussing the xgames and got on the topic of Sammy. He totally bad mouthed him and labeled him as a "lazy kid who was getting a lucky free ride from his sponsors." The guy was just going on and on about him to, saying that he's just wasting time and money, yada, yada, yada. Couldn't believe this guy honestly. Also was ripping on companies like Line and claimed that his Dumonts were the best ski he ever skied.

Kind of explains why I can't stand freeskier.

I'm glad to see that Sammy is back and destroying everything in sight.

I think you pretty much have to predict SOTY from buzz and what you hear... I remember the year WAR came out everyone was talking about how Pep had landed basically switch everywhere and no one had seen a thing yet, that kind of thing. Or Durtschi for EDIAS, everyone was all hyped up to see him. Parker White is said to have killed it pretty hard this year, but I'm hearing good things about how Dane's part will turn out so I'm going with him.

What I really like about Sammy is that even though he does all these big spins, doubles and tripples etc.,tricks that I am usually not are that into, he still keeps it creative, unique and stylish which makes it really entertaining/ inspiring to watch.

He comes up with new mind blowing tricks every now and then, he took the gold in Xgames slopesyle and he always seem keep a good wibe.

In my book he is definetly worth of the title; "skier of the year" !

i agree 100% with OP. and for some reason, the on top of the hood teaser got me the most stoked out of all of the trailers this year. not to mention he's from oregon, like me.
