Candide Thovex definitely knows his shit, and he really pushed the boundaries back in the day. Same with C.R Johnson and Tanner in my opinion. I think they are so significant because there was still a lot to explore in skiing (not saying that there's nothing new to learn anymore, but freestyle skiing hasn't been around for that long). Nowadays though I love Parker White and Dane Tudor. They absolutely slay it in both park and backcountry. And don't forget LJ Strenio too! This guy is just completely nuts. He can do park, urban, pipe, and backcountry and slays it at all of these

all of these posts have one element that one of these athletes never does, except any one that tanner, candide, pep, shane, jp and cr (I may be missing a few). These guys were in a generation where to do this sport you had to be an all around athlete and that is exactly what they did and continue to do to this day. God bless every one of them for making our sport what it is today and pushing limits

There's so many well rounded skiers, you can't really have a "best overall" skier, but rather people who are extremely good in certain aspects.

none of these skiers can be definitively named the best- each one can do something the others cant- personally i think sage and sean pettit are the best. sage just does some things that are so ridiculous that when you watch them you cant begin to think how the hell he can pull something like that off- sean pettit does the same, but seems like hes having more fun and is joking around when he does it. they are my two favorite skiers to watch

Well if we are truly talking overall, I would like to mention Jon Olson. He is ridiculous in the air as we all know and he's also a World Class alpine racer. (Not sure if anyone cares about that but I think it's cool)

But I really haven't seen him do any urban or too much rail anything for that matter.
