Tanner Hall in my opinion has had the biggest influence in the park scene. As far as ability level, definitely Dane Tudor. Best overall skier by far.

Not sure you could say whos the best overall when there are so many different disciplines in skiing, thats why i liked the dream team thread with categories. but i'd say sammy c is the most well rounded freeskier

no NO im sorry im sick of this shit, Henrik and Phil are not the best skiers FACT. Dane Tudor is probably the most all rounded skier if we take into acount spins and all that shit, he can tripple he can do many doubles (unlike phil) he can slay backcountry and AK line (unlike phil AND Henrik). Before you start pissing yourself because i didnt agree that they were not the best skiers let me tell you yes they have 'style', yes they dont have to do doubles, yes they are good skiers but they are not well rounded skiers my any means. before you disagree with me, go tell you mum first maybe she will care

your opinion of the best skier is one who can slay everything. Mine is the one I like to watch ski the best and that would simply be delorme, phil, henrik, tom wallisch, pwite, and gus k. There is no wrong answer so dont come in here with all your "no NO"-ing

If I like to watch crashing the most, does that mean that Scott Hibbert is the best freestyle skier? Nope.

Dane tudor. He can throw down on back country booters, powder in alaska, huge kickers, and even gets dirty on some rails.

the purpose of this thread is the best freeskier not who do you like to watch the most. Therefore my opinion is valid.

Henrick Harlut- The king of style and honestly a true SKI BOSS! Just like tanner.

-Born August 14 1991 (21 years old)
- Music intrest includes Nas, Wu Tang etc...
-Dated Raquel savel (Or something like that) for about 2 years but they broke up because he was away for skiing too aften
-Landed his first double at age 16, and landed his first triple at age 21!!

Such an inspiration

Not a bad list at all, Petit might not be the best all around freestyle skier but he is definitely one of my favorites to watch

means more than the subjective opinion of whos style you liked better. He was able to do the most consistent technical tricks. Maybe it isnt saying he is the "best" but its the only way we have to compare skiers... style vs style is completely subjective.
