sammy carlson is the best skier on the planet right now.

he's everything skiing should be:
- going huge
- great style
- technical freestyle tricks
- steep AK lines
- awesome jibs
- backcountry freestyle

he is the culmination of 18+ years of freeskiing innovation. damn.

I've been saying this for a while. While he doesn't have Candide beat in my book, I can't think of any pro that dominates every aspect of skiing at the level he does

Agreed. And who will take his place when he's done? He's the last remnant of a different era in skiing.

Sammy and Candide are very similar skiers. Their in-air style is similar. They both are a little crazy and go massive off jumps and cliffs. They've both had success at X Games. They can jib, jump and ski steeps as well as just about anyone else. Mad props. Couldn't be more proud of the sport.

Anyone that has their own invitational event is going to be good because they're getting respect not from judges, nor the fans but their peers first and foremost.

All the above said, it's really hard to say any one skiers is the best.
My guess is he would never be so brash as to say it of himself. He would probably have a whole list of people he thought better than himself.
