I originally saw this in the skateblog quartersnacks, http://quartersnacks.com/. I figure with all the jocs and superpipes and mega hucks in skiing right now it would be cool to have some discussion about the skiers out there who keep things more down to earth. Now that all the footage is coming out who do you guys think "progressed the sport" the most this past year while mostly avoiding, mega features, double flips, and massive drops.
My current pics for LISOTY are...
Will Wesson and Sami Ortleib

Small World from Level 1 on Vimeo.

The Bunch led by standouts such as, LSM, Magnus Graner, Peyben, and Bmack.

The Trashparty
The Trashparty - TRYVANN #3 from The Trashparty on Vimeo.

The Trashparty - TRYVANN #2 from The Trashparty on Vimeo.

And that crazy dude in the purple pants who skis with totally trevor.


however i know there are way more skiers and footage out there that can contend for LISOTY. Post vids, throw out names, or just talk shit. Its a pretty stacked field and there's nothing to win or lose. Who do you guys think is the Low Impact Skier of the Year?

so you're basically talking about skiers who are super technical and don't really go "big." in that case i'd say most of the bunch crew or will wesson.

Switch backflip in the pipe doesn't sound low impact, but he made it look pretty chill.

not your only choices, i was just listing a couple skiers who i thought fit the bill off the top of my head. if you know of any others then list em off.
other guys i can think of right now:
garret russell
andy parry
mike hornbeck
kieren mcveigh
ian compton
steve stepp (lol)
liam downey
the HG skis crew
and pretty much anyone whos ever been in a traveling circus episode.
basically, any skiers who kill it on accessible features and terrain. theres a shit ton more, and im wondering who you guys think killed it this year?

So you're talking street riders that don't go as big as stept.

Kieran Nikula always slays.
and Rob Heule
and Khai Krepla

Parker White has been at the top of my list since After Dark.
He always creates something worth watching

He's from fucking Collingwood not the 6.

Fuck anyone who claims Toronto when they're really from Barrie/Collingwood/Orillia.

Scratch that, fuck you if you're from sauga, brampton, scarbs or any other place that isn't Toronto but claims it is.











Shits hot up in the 6 boi
