The beer world has theirs, who do we have? Harlaut? THall? Lesh? Who do you guys think is the most interesting man in the free skiing?

To me it would be LJ Strenio. He goes so extremely hard in every part of skiing. And he also does cool stuff like skydiving. Following him on Facebook I end up seeing a ton of cool stuff

I would love to sit down with THall and pick his brain apart and see what makes him tick as a psychologist, but atlast i'm not a psychologist so

Jon Olsson once finished a race switch to see what second place looked like.

So I'd say Jon Olsson. Hes a model, races cars, sick at park and racing.

For me i'd have to say eric pollard. I'd say he's more of a man of mystery, you get a lot of sick edits like his EPOV stuff, and also has a really unique way of skiing, but at the same time you don't have a lot of interviews or much of anything from him like that but he is still sick, makes him an interesting man to me.

Let's not kid ourselves. As a person, it's gotta be Lesh. Born in India, been on Judge Mathis, met the president, owns FD, has a pilot's license and a plane, member #12 on NS, throws banger errday, and I'm sure there's plenty more we don't even know

I'd say either Plake, Candide or Mike Wilson. If I got to ski with all three on the same day I'd quite simply explode.

And most importantly his only drive to do such crazy shit is simply because he is Mike Wilson and that's what he does. The guy grew up skiing at my home hill and the man who has operated the ski shop in the lodge for a looooooooong time before it closed down couldn't believe "Little Mikey Wilson" was doing all this crazy shit when I showed him his videos, both skiing and rope swing shenanigans.

"I had no idea! Holy shit that kid ripped so hard, I always wondered what came of him. I'm so happy he never mellowed out, this is just awesome to see!"



It was awesome to watch someone who knew him as a kid just be blown away that he is exactly the same he was when he knew him probably 20 years ago, just bigger and older. I would kill to have him make a homecoming trip and ski some of the shit we've been working on for the past few years. Mike Wilson is the man!

I would say Andreas Fransson, not outspoken and brash however he is very clever and skis the gnarliest lines in the world. I would recommend to read his blog- really thought provoking and interesting
