Caucasian_Asian3.) Seth Morrison/Jeremy Nobis. Big mountain pioneers. No more jump turns. Alaskan face pow 11s.
This. Especially Nobis,
Shane, Candide, and Plake would probably round out my top five

A few runner ups:

CR Johnson
Fujas
Dave Chrition
Dumont
Mike Douglas
Jp Auclair
Mike Wilson
TJ Schiller
Phil Casabon
Jossi Wells
JF Cusson
Jonny Moseley
Seth Morrison
Andreas Håtveit
Sammy Carlson
Pollard
That was harder than I thought it would be. There are so many great skiers but some were just more influential. I didn't really want to put Wallish on there at first but he has had an insane following. Henrik was close to my top 5 as well.

In no particular order:
-Jon Olsson, for making people realize that "newschool" doubles were actually possible to do
-Candide, for obvious reasons
-Tom Wallisch, for illustrating how easy tech tricks can actually be made to look. After he grew famous it seems as if steeze was taken to a whole other level across the board
-Harlaut for once again pushing the boundaries of what people thought was possible. I'm talking about forward and switch butters to multiple corks, dub sevens and huge spins early on
-Whoever was the first man alive to intentionally land or set a trick switch
