Am I the only person who thinks Ahmet Dadali is one of the best park and backcountry skiers? I feel he is being under-rated.

This.

I'm surprised how little Tanner's name has shown up. To my knowledge Candide and Tanner are the only ones that have ever won x-games in every discipline. And on top of that they are good in the BC too.

Triple post, but idfc.

I'm gonna have to revoke my last answer of Sammy C, Pettit, Candide and Sage.

That didn't make sense at all. New selection:
Permin and Candide.

They're fucking amazing, both of them.

Tanner and Sage are up there close behind 'em.

I thought Olsson was a racer too. Olsson is a half-breed. Half freeskier and half enslaved racing machine. I used to be a slave to the gates too, but then i saw the light.

but seriously it's Ted Ligety and Didier Cuche. Candide is the best freerider and then you can argue a million ways who is number 2.

wallisch is obviously one of the contenders but seriously after andreas' pre season edit i think he is arguably the best skiier on rails.

in terms of freeskiing, the progression of park skiing, and transitioning it into the backcountry they where deeply involved.

No. He slays rails, he's good at jumping, but no. I'm gonna go right ahead and say that 2 dudes none of us have heard of from somewhere near Chamonix are the best skiers on the planet right now.
