"The style" never changed. Most people still go baggy.

Chris honeywell was rockin tight style back in 05/06.
Heres a seg from hood in 05', he has the first part at 1:14.

Nick Mcnutt was really skinny then too in http://vimeo.com/5452081 at 6:17

Whoever started it was probably a snowboarder in 2003/4 and a skater in 02. In skiing id say the trend started in 05-06.

Correct me if I'm wrong but OP isn't talking about outerwear style, but instead the transition from fat rockered skis (ie aforementioned spatula) to newer, narrow rockered [park] skis.

Yay? Nay? Regardless, shitty OP, 2/10 would not click again.
