BallClapperThats inherently subjective. It's like asking what flavor of ice cream is the best. You could do a poll but the answer will be wildly different for everyone.
Jemsone will always come on top, for skiing it would probably be a popular opinion war between harlaut, hall, and wallisch if we’re being real.
forgot candide, there’s gotta be a few more.

Farmville420Depends how you look at it but it's either candide or ahall in the general sense probably
Most well rounded of all time is Hunter Hess or Tanner Hall, maybe even Leigh Powis, idk that's a tough category, Colby Stevenson making his way into those convos as well
I think Sammy C is the greatest big mountain / backcountry rider ever by a country mile.
PresidentSkroobNot necessarily. If we’re assuming freestyle skiing is a creative enterprise, it’s sort of against the ethos of the sport to say there’s a possibility of an absolute best. It would be like saying Michael Angelo was the best artist of all time. Super broad claim.

JemsHow is Hunter more rounded than AHall? Alex has 4 XGames gold metals, and an olympic gold, multiple legitimately awesome street AND powder parts.
hb_lazim writing an english paper about the best freestyle skier of all time, and i want to here your guys' opinions.
KilaTsunamiGotta be my homie Randy

Jemswell skiing isn’t necessarily an art form, it’s a sport. if you throw style, creativity, and the time period out the window you can kind of measure who’s “the best” through objective analysis of the difficulty of their tricks. so relative to overall versatility and talent, i’d say alex hall is probably the greatest of all time at the moment. you could even say andri ragettli (yeah he’s lame af, but he did the first real quad and is always competitive). but again alex hall isn’t that influential and doesn’t have a style that will likely never fall out of popularity such as harlaut’s or even wallisch. if we’re gonna pick the theoretical goat it’s probably harlaut, but he’s getting old and there’s many skiers objectively better than him at this point.
SlowbroI think Hatveit is the greatest park skier of all time. He's not an overall GOAT like Tanner or Candide but in terms of pure bag of tricks and difficulty in the park idk if anyone can compare to him, even Wallisch. Watch the SLVSH game where he wins against 3 other phenomenal skiers and his TGP edits for reference.

Jemsbased choice honestly, one of the objectively highest skilled rail skiers out there even at his older age.
