This is probably a repost but the title says it all. Personally I've seen some crazy stuff come out of Finland recently so that's my vote.

The French! Americans don't lean into their boots enough. Canadians are usually too busy snowmobiling. Scandinavians ski in the dark most of the year so no one can see what their doing anyways. I guess the Austrians are ok. But nothing beats classic french ski style. It's like making love to the mountains.

Well, just to sample one portion of the community, from the top 37 riders in the FWT
13 from Usa 1 skier to 24million people
2 From Canada 1skier to 17.5million people
North America Total 1skier to 23.6million people
Now from Europe
5 From France including the FWT Champion 1 skier to 13.2million people
4 From Switzerland 1 skier to 2million people
2 From Sweden 1skier to 4.75million people
3 From Austria 1 skier 2.8million people
2 From Italy 1 skier to 30million people
1 From Russia 1 skier to 143million people
1 From Germany 1 skier to 80 million people
Europe Total
1 skier to 13million people if you don't count russia
1 skier to 20million people if you do
So from a 1 year sample of the FWT europe wins and switzerland really kills it with austria a close second.
If you count countries that push out the most by numbers then Usa wins by a landslide. really take it as you will

I think Canada has produced the largest number of crazy big mountain skiiers.

Oh well. I don't want to get biased but I think it's really in the US that has lot of best skiers.
All times are Eastern (-5)
