Pro with the best style?

When I say this, I'm not talking about style in terms of the outerwear that their rocking while skiing, really just how they ski. There's not really a specific way to tell which pros style is better than anyone elses, but it is possible to say which ones stand out more than others. Personally, I feel Maks Gorham has the sickest style, the way he nollies off everything and how he has that whippy motion while on rails looks so good, his segment in the eighty-six reflects this as well as his newest edit in Breck.

I came here to say maks as well. Fleezy fleed has a dope style as well, kind of low/ wide stance. Most of stept just have really unique styles, the Jiberish seanny j and Clayton edit is sick. Delorme has a dope style as well, especially in powder, nose butters and shit like that

delorme is sick, but he always seems to land sideways... does he not know how to divide by 180?

maks gorham has awesome jibbing / nollie-ing style. I loved every scene he had in the 86.

But for best style overall I have to go with Bdog. every single trick he does flows effortlessly, and he never wildly hucks his meat. he presses the shit out of rails, and keeps his composure dropping huge urban features. Not to mention his ridiculous variety of grabs. Also his switch butter cork 5 in the halfpipe at the end of his EOS segment was downright beautiful.

my votes:

1st: Phil Casabon
2nd: Maks Gorham
3rd: Pollard (anyone who can steeze out a cork 5 on a gnarly big mountain line deserves this title.)

Tanner and Candide back in 03/04. Vanular in 05. Wallisch 06-present. Delorme 07. Right now tho HH is on a different level, love the kids style. Surprised more people aren't mentioning him

I'm surprised to see Candide so much in this thread. Yes he very well maybe one of the best 5 skiers in the world in my opinion, but I don't think his style is among the best or distinguishes him from the crowd.

For me it's T-Rains or Delorme. And pretty much whoever was in Act Natural too, Khai Kreppela is one name that I can remember.

Hahaha. For real though LJ slays hard, but I wouldn't say he has good style. He still hucks his spins like a ski racer in the park.

Well, Candide has a timeless style I'd say. Wether he's bouncing around in the powder or in the park. He's awesome to watch. For me, he has the best style.

Can´t forget about Charlie Owens. His switch 10 in The Eighty Six is unbeatable. I´ve allways enjoyed watching him ski.

Other than him Delorme, Powis, P White ,Kim Boberg and Chris Logan comes to mind

I don't think you really could declare anybody with the best style because of how different  some of the guys listed in this thread ski.

And this is why I don't pick favorites. We can all learn something from the style of everyone.

this thread is the dumbest fucking thing ever. style is the most subjective part of skiing, how can you say who has the "best" style?
