everyone should go vote on freeskier.com for the best skiers of this past year. Whether they had some sweet tricks in the Backcountry (LJ), slayed some gnarly urban (LJ), or went big in the park (LJ), vote in the head to head formats for your favorites and see who wins!

Morrison vs B Brown? Makes no sense. Sorta like comparing Marvin Gaye to Les Claypool.

true, but this year alone LJ has killed it as toms been out of action with injury, all together would be a little more harder to decide imo

E'dollo VS rolland is a hard one, easy choice for me, but henrik's gonna have a hard time getting through. He threw the sickest dub's this year not to mention insane rail tricks and his 10's and 14's at x-games. But rolland has been dominating pipe for the last few years, he is on point 24/7.

They are lumping every category of freeskier into one poll of course there are going to be odd matchups. Eventually a big mountain person would have to go against a park person.

They need 2 categories, i know they talked about this last year in their magazine about how the picking of the best skiier of the year should go.

they need to separate it into: Park and Pow and then separate the skiers and vote accordingly.
its easier to judge that way, but i guess in the end their can only be one winner.

henrik has a lot more fan than rolland... henrik is going to win it by a lot of vote...

casabon will also destroy schlopy... its all about fan IMO, no matter how good your season was.

I voted the following for these reasons: LJ, because he is a better skier than Tom in my opinion

B-dog because of his style and his matchups's lack of...

Sean Petit because he is absolutely nuts

Henrik because of the butter dub

Parker white, just because

Dane Tudor because his segment in Grande Bizarre was incredible

And Simon just because the cubed pipe was sick

agreed with the guy up there. casabon is by far my favorite skier, but they make themselves look like complete and utter idiots in those videos. Hop off the hoodrat bandwagon you white, well circumstanced professional in a sport associated with wealth. And dont play any more fucking redman.

I don't like the way that freeskier sets up SOTY. if the person who you think is second best goes up against the best I the first round, they are out. I like that they narrow it down, but maybe it should be a free vote, with the last half getting cut every time, because someone who loses one matchup might have more votes than someone who wins another.
