overall skiers
Gus Kenworthy, slays urban, pipe, and park.
T-Hall-again slays pipe park, urban.
Henrik Harlaut, kills the park and urban, EDS also shows that he can wreck a pipe as well
Sammy Carlson wrecks everything his skis touch, he does not do pipe, but one of the best park skiiers and really good in BC as well
Candide-back in the day he was winning pipe/ park u name it, now he is on top in backcountry
Dane Tudor-Destroys park and BC, in Grand Bizaare he also clearly could hit a handrail or two.
Dylan Ferguson- aerials/park
Jon Olsson-ski racer/freestyle pioneer

Least overall skier(not hating)

Kevin Rolland- so much respect for what he does in the pipe, but quite frankly,other than a couple of scaffolding big airs, I don't think I have ever seen him outside of the pipe. I know for a fact I haven't seen him hit a rail. At least he's not spreading himself too thin I guess

Sammy Carlson for sure. He kills it on jumps, jibs, rails, urban, and backcountry. He doesnt ski pipe too often, but fuck the pipe.

In terms of best "overall", i think he takes it.

That's a good list, but i'd add Delorme and Tanner Rainville, both those guys kill the park and the BC

Candide or T-Hall I'd say. Both were on top in park and pipe and have done some very impressive backcountry work since then. In fact, Tanner is probably the only skier I know to win so many X medals for pipe while spending his winters in Haines skiing big mountain.

If you toss Pollard and Tanner in this mix this is the list I would most agree with.

Tanner, because he could have been a staple on the U.S. Team as a mogul skier had he stuck with it.

Not saying he's the best, but if you're making a list and you don't at least include Sage, then you're a fucking retard.

Sammy and Delorme. Delorme especially, the few park scenes he has in the Level 1 movies are super stylish (Refresh), and then he puts together some insane backcountry segs (After Dark, Eye Trip) guys a boss.

by "looked for a while" do you mean looked for absolute 0 seconds and just posted what was on your mind helping to maintain ski gabber at its current state of indisputable glory?

if so then yes you definitely looked for a while.

Best overall skier does not mean just park pipe and urban. Backcountry plays a big part in being a good overall skier. Cause alot of these pros that compete don't even touch the backcountry. So Chuck buck-worthy aka Gus Kenworthy is obviously not the best overall skier cause he barley skis any Backcountry. So stop naming all these comp skiers cause they are obviously not the best overall skiers.
Whoever said Torin and Jossi wells is just plain dumb and should just stay off NS.

A Few to mention that do it all.
Candide
T-Hall
Sammy Carlson
Dane Tudor
Hornbeck
P.White
