Andreas Fransson is a fucking boss, the dude's got ice running through his veins. If anyone is interested in ski mountaineering check out his descent of Denali's south face.
Anway adding ski mountaineers into the mix will just make an already impossible debate even more fragmented. You have to acknowledge Dav and Ptor Spricenieks in that realm as well as countless others though.
Anyway for all round ski abilty Candide and Jon are undoubtedly in the upper tier. Both pushed park skiing to new levels but have also won big mountain comps and in Jon's case race.
May as well triple post.
He was also reportedly the first person to clear Chad's Gap - as a 16 year old. He then returned the follwing year and d-spin 7'd it on his third attempt. The guy was light years ahead.
Agreed Dane is a beast. The level's so high right now that there are almost too many to name - Candide, Seth, Tanner, Abma, Sage, Hoji, Peterson, Dane and many more all throwing ridiculous things in a BC/big mountain environment.
As for "right now" though let's wait and see what Candide has been up to with his filming project. He has always been at the forefront of the sport since he was a kid and i've no doubt he's maintaining his standards.
