who do you guys think is the best all round skier at the moment, from urban and park, to Backcountry and big mountain, just someone who slays all round the mountain, wherever and whenever. My personal opinion is that Candide Thovex is the best all round skier, let me know what you think.

Candide is definitely best. Also Dane Tudor came to mind, slays in every aspect.

Add Parker White, Dane Tudour, Sammy Carlson, And Samuel Anthamatten tp that list. Candide is the best though by a huge margin.

I Never know why there is no one saying Even Sigstad, he also kills everywhere, and is without a doubt a better urban skier.

tim mcchesney is pretty much killing it everywhere this year. those last tricks in the latest faction edit where unreal and he's definitively comfortable in the streets and parks,pwhite and chris logan too are both pretty good all around skiers.

Don't get me wrong Cam is one of the most solid urban skier, but he's skiing on a mountain like 5 times a year lol. I don't think a skier who is basically always in the streets could be considered the best "all-around" skier, he's clearly one of the best when it comes to urban tho.

Yeah but what about park and urban? We're talking well rounded here and I've only ever seen big mountain slayage from Sander.

completely forgot ahmet, i know the guy doesn't ski the craziest lines yet, but he sends it off big cliffs, probably has the steeziest switch landings and we all know his urban and park game.

If you mean absolute all around from urban to BC, I don't think you can put candide in there for urban, so I have to say Ahmet and Sammy

Even though he's slowing down a little after his string of injuries, you have to put Tanner Hall in the conversation.

Fucking Adam Delorme, we dont always see him shredding the sickest big mountain lines, but we have, and based on his rail skill, jump skill, overall edge control on everything from urban rails to groomers to rough spring conditions and beyond, the guy is a fucking animal. Watch him rip moguls, then watch the Faction edits, then watch his Level 1 segments, and tell me in 100% certainty hes not one of the Top 5 if not Top 3 best skiers ever.

Tanner Hall, nobody has the skills in street he has while being able to go as hard as he does in the backcountry. Legit street+legit backcountry, no stupid gimmick tricks, thats before you even mention how good he is at pipe or his style. Candide a close second.
