JON OLSSON. why?

A true OG in the sport of ski racing (unlike candide, tanner)

Superpipe God, back in the day (X Games Gold!)

Innovator  at Big Air, with Kang, swDub1080, etc etc.

The man at slopestyle over the years

Hot girlfriend

Tanner, Candide, Jon when it comes to being absolutely phenomenally all-rounder skiers. In no particular order.

New generations may trump them, but their legacy will live on.

Many truths in this post. The man is a pro. I would probably rank: Candide >= Jon >= Tanner.

Actually no. Shane > > > > > > Candide, etc

i would say title of 'greatest skier of all time' goes to shane.

'best skier of all time' goes to candide.

Well every 4 month or so these threads comes along and I always fide them interesting – basically because how do we judge a good skier? What criteria(s) do we set; is the skiier innovative, is there a unique style, is there an impact on the industry, technicality, movie parts, competitions and so on.

If you just want the best skier right now and only base it on your ability to ski, then we should make a 3 part competition with a slope style comp, a race (like a FIS GS) and a big mountain comp.

Then someone like Jon, Windstedt, Candide, maybe Bode Miller might win.

If you want innovation, style and impact then it might be someone else.

What are we looking for in the best skier out there?  

Sorry for my spelling I’m Scandinavian

Enjoy your weekend guys

How many beers deep were you when you wrote this? HA

But I agree for the most part. A FWT season would be sick, but Tanner has his eyes on those golden Olympic O's, knee pain and all.

It was really good to hear him spew the real deal on his radio show the other night. I recommend THC for all.

There has never been anyone in skiing that could compete at the highest levels in freestyle/ride and racing until Jon and I doubt there ever will be again.  Best = Best all around IMO. 

I'm thinking Rowen was housed when he created this thread or he was baby sitting, left himself logged on and the kid jumped on his computer. :-D

For anyone one who hasn't seen the ski movie "Steep" go watch it! Every single person in that movie revolutionized the sport of freeskiing.

really? no shit.
hmmm. hey tanner, can you ski bumps?

how about shane? accomplished racer, big mountain, Budweiser pro mogul tour, and competed in x games.

Think candide skied bumps?

The truth is that all the OG's of our sport all came from bumps.

I don't know, Candide kinda rips lines too...

I haven't thought about it to make a decision but it's close. I think Tanner still might take it with his park prowess to line ripping ratio.
