style for sure, i understand how professional skiers cant make money winning competitions with style tricks and how they must preform using tech tricks. But style will always be number one in my books, especially in any film segment. For example ive never seen phil casabon do a double but he still comes out with some of the best film segments of the year because he is so damn stylish, as well as people like henrik harlaut or p-white and names like that. It is for this reason that I love the level 1 movies so much, because they always put a focus on the style of skiing and not just the huge park jump perfect for doing triples on, they have the better LOOKING jump that skiers can do more stylish and creative tricks on instead of just getting super tech to a point where it looks bad.
As far as doubles go, doubles have all the potentail to be stylish if they are done in a stylish manner, for example a switch double rodeo ten which a shifty after the second flip and a gnarly safety grab will always look insanely stylish to me, but a triple cork 14 with high mute held the entire time (even though it is far more difficult) will never gain the same amount of respect from me.
