Alright, this is totally in my opinion, and it's based off of High Five, Red Tape, X, and Happy Happy, all the mags and some other stuff. And I'm totally right out about this because it's totally stand out. Well, its....

CHARLES GANGIER.

Suppper sick nose grabs, criticals all sorts of stuff you don't sick. He comes out of his corks like noone else, he's damn smooth, he spins both ways, and how 'bout those rails?? He makes one foot look sooo nice. His segments kinda lack pipe, but that's made up by the back to back 9's at Wsi last year. His style is just totally dope.

Now I'm not saying that he might be only one who deserves it...but FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN he's got it by a long shot.

My vote goes for Gagnier too. Winning the RipCurl freeski comp is an indicator of things to come.

WELL I KNOW THAT!!!

Female of the year: Sarah Burke

Now I'm all into Grete Elliason and Michelle Parker and Kim Lamare and Ashely Battersby, but I didn't see enough footage to award them Skier of the year. Kristi's segment was okay...but Sarah's segment in Red Tape was the best female segment I've ever seen. The back to back natural unnatural handrails. The siick pipe shots and solid spins make this the greatest segments of all time.

And she's soo fuckin hot in the Iceland shots.

LOL @ stept. but I agree with Pat, I was very impressed with Gangier's talent in all areas: spinning (both way), rails (one foot smoothness fo sheezy), style (Ebola sick grabs).

Not saying he is the skier of the year, but I also think Tanner Rainville is off the chains. His butters and switch 7 blunts made me vomit

KNUCK IF YOU BUCK BOY

The Michael Jordan, the Babe Ruth, The Wayne Gretzky of Newschoolers.com idiots needs no introduction.... but here\\\'s one anyways. John Andrew Steward, a rich kid from Georgia, will not hesitate for a moment to tell you exactly what he\\\'s thinking (and I use that term loosely). His over 2000 posts make him one of the most prolific retards on our list, and he\\\'s become something of a legend on this website, representing the ever-growing intellectually devoid section of the membership here at NS.com. In fact, when the Golden Wheelchair award was first conceived, there was some talk of naming it after him, as a dedication. Also among his qualifications are his being named so often to Crystal-Needs-A-Park\\\'s honorary hall of fame for stupid posts, that the proprietor was forced to abandon the project: Atlantaski simply flooded it too quickly. Further, he had more entries into the original Hall of Fame for Stupid Posts than any other member of Newschoolers.com. Though he went into temporary retirement a few months ago, he has recently returned with a vengeance and, far from missing a beat, has stepped his stupidity up to new heights, recently capturing a GW award for mocking Trevor Peterson. He is fully deserving of his place near the top of this list

Simon. Simon has actually developped perfect rail style. Like, he is flawlessly smooth, not movement, no bumps no jumps. Just pure flow. Also, in the air he is simple amazing, his style is soo dope, he is definitely the person I would say is innovatiing styule at this point. Also, Pollard for taking switch BC landings to a whoel new level.

gagnier is crazy and probably should take it, but if there is a breakout year, or most improved, or some other bs category, i would like to point attention to charlie ager. as far as creativity and gnarlieness go, he kills it. poaching the msp gap on whistler, laying it down on the pond skim to rock jib, and shredding it in general, he needs some credit. peep possessed to see.

I have to say there are so many that stepped into the limelight this year and really killed it.

Breakthrough performance of the year...Mark Abma
Rookie of the year...TJ
Gagnier really stepped up, but this is his sophmore year...
Big Mtn Ripper...Ian McIntosh all the way...check out stimulus...

work to ski...but only if you ski to work. The simple equation to skibumming 101

you guys are kind of all talking 'breakout skier of the year' , most pros can all do the same tricks it all comes down to style, or how well they can do them, or the skier that pushes the sport that much farther (candide). i'd love to see his movie this year

in a comp it comes down to who has the balls to throw a sick shit without bailing (who can confidently land which tricks)

these are my rambles

''Independence is for the very few; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it even with the best right but without inner constraint proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring to the point of recklessness. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold the dangers which life brings with it in any case, not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes lonely, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing one like that comes to grief, this happens so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it nor sympathize. And he cannot go back any longer. Nor can he go back to the pity of men.'' -my buddy, Fred

abma ripped some sick big mountain lines in yearbook and i think thats why he deserves it, maybe his park shit wasnt as good as gagniers, who was at like a 10, but abma was a 9 with some big mountain shit that was amazing, so i think he should take the overall title down

Dude Seth was hurt all last year, he's the man, no question, skier of the decade? I'd probably vote for him, but this thread is about the best skier last year, and Seth spent most of last sesason rehabbing, so he's not on this list...
