who do you think is the greatest skier of all time, not just including park? like counting downhill, moguls, etc.

i know guys like tanner and olsson have been known to slay the bumps occasionally, but i also know they arent the only multi-dimensional skiers out there. i think this could get interesting, and possibly help kill the myth that all non-park skiers are gapers

Not to mention the fact that he builds one off monster hits like no one has ever seen before.   He can pretty much do it all.  Jon is the best all-around skier there is.  Unless you consider park and pipe to be "all around".

Because he isn't that well rounded? He hasn't really shown off the ability to ski lines very well. He's just a jib kid who's taken his park tricks to the pow. He's still dope, and he'll probably get pretty nasty at skiing lines as he gets older, like Tanner.

i would have to say Pep, but maybe i'm a little biased b/c i coached him for about 4 years. That said Candide is the baddest mf'er to click into a pair of bindings ever.

I forgot about Henrik Winstedt.  Great in the park and bumps, won the freeride world tour last year.  That really says a lot.  I would love to see what he could do in a heli in AK.
