You can't really just say he is the best because there are so many parts of skiing that I'm sure some people are better than him at and he is better than other people at other parts there is no best skier in the world.

No, not at all. Yeah he has a sick rail game, but that's it. When he played Crazy Karl in Vars he didn't even hit the jump

I would say no. He is a really sick skier and that's what we appreciate him about. His segments in level 1 are bomb and crazy shit he does in TC is why we like him.

OP are you crazy?
Will Wesson has mad rail game, but put him next to a skier like Candide, Tanner, Delorme, etc they will blow him out of the water in terms of actual skiing ability.

Will Wesson is the man and has a nasty rail game coupled with a great style. But is he the best in the world? Pretty blanketed statement, so I would have to say no.

Technical park skiing- no. he can't do jumps that well so he wouldn't do well in a competition like x games

Real skiing- No. He can not ski intense stuff like big mountain nearly as well as people like Candide

Creativity- No. I'd say real skifi is the most creative but there I don't know if you can truly choose a winner with creativity.

Style- No. There isn't a best style. There are only different styles.

Rails- Maybe. He's definitely up there as one of the best rail skiers

But overall, He isn't the best. He is fucking ill and does some of the wackiest illest tricks I've seen on rails but overall he isn't the best

He is very creative but in my opinion there are people that are more creative than him. And creativity is hard to judge.

Hands down the nicest skier I've ever met and one of the nicest people in general. He came to Trollhaugen, WI early season and I talked to him/ skiied with him for a good part of the night. Then at the very end of the season he came back and came right up to me askin how my season went and whatnot. Most kids I ski with don't even do that lol. Not to mention that he's ridiculous at skiing.

no, the best skiers in the world are either racers, or real big mountain skiers like johnny collinson, sage, or like todd ligare

Personally I think Will has the best rail game in the world. That may be a bold statement, but I honestly haven't seen another skier, other than maybe Khai, who even comes close. As far as other aspects of skiing, no. I know plenty of skiers who don't have any sponsors and are better than Will at jumps and rip woods. Just my opinion.
