Skiing has come a long way, and now in 2016, i feel as if there is no one cool style right now. Personally, in Nick Gaper's newest edit, the semi-baggy look but with the clean ass tricks is the style i wish i could have. Also Dale is just the biggest G out there that rocks the fitted, kinda baggy look.

What are NSers' favorite styles and which skiers rock them?

For me, 2011-2013 Stept productions. They were great urban skiers, but I always loved they're park riding. K2 summer school is still my favorite series.


And Zam Matchett too. Ever since I saw his 12-13 season edit I've been mesmerized by his style.

Candide because I'm not much of a park guy, but his tucked shiftys when dropping cliffs are so badass. Also those hard slash turns.

Sean Pettite. His 2015 video part was one of the best I have ever seen.

Candide has a super cool charging style, and Casabon literally invented the idea of style over tech. Those two for sure

I'm big fan of the bucket hat, tall-t, arms swangin style that Will Berman and John Ware mastered in 2013/14, via inspiration from Phil Casabon.

How has no one mentioned Henrik.

Also worth mentioning:
-Ahmet, his flow between backcountry and urban is seemless and he charges the fuck out of cliffs in the baggies of open coats
- Delorme, dude basically started this whole buttery styley shit skiing has become but can also charge like no other
-Candide, no explanation needed

Style is highly subjective but to me a skier that can dominate all parts of the mountain and put their signature style on every kind of feature is truly the most stylish.

I love the style of LSM, Tom Wallisch, and so many others in the park and streets but when I watch them ski pow I don't see that style shine through.

This is why I enjoy watching Mitchell Brower so much. Also he's just a cool dude

Quality post. I agree with most of what you had to say but more importantly I really like the presentation of it. Nicely done.

toph and Sammy are the homies and its always rad watching what they come up with on hood. Honestly back when I started skiing I joined the hype train of hating on nick g. But after a couple seasons of riding and not paying attention to styles I find myself really liking his style clean but relaxed in a way. Used to like the big arm swing now its just ugly when you land looking over right shoulder and swing alll the way around to make it look cool lol

Will W has always been so smooth. B Dog rocking the bucket Hat, Tall Ts and gang signs is classic. My fav has always been Downey though. Just so smooth and ever since I saw his straight Lincoln Blount I've worshipped him

How has Keegan not been mentioned? His skiing is by far my favorite to watch of anyone's, plus he came out of the east coast throwing dubs with immaculate style.

I mean if we are looking at style look back at Compton and the various styles he went through, kinda cool that guys can mix it up like that

For me right now I like delorme's fast as shit approach while still throwing together silky as shit lines.

Also I like the bunch in terms of just adding another side of style in skiing, I like seeing all the variety in skiing right now.

But for me tops right now has to be Jake Carney he skis fast as fuck and has literally become the God of the Gucci plateau as well as making just about everything else look perfect too. I also can't help but like his ripped tall t
