This is a really biased opinion but I'm just gonna go ahead and say Glen Plake. This dude is a legend and the sport wouldn't be where it is at today without him.

Then I wouldn't even consider your opinion, because that's outrageous.

Tanner! No disrespect for anybody else though. There are so many different skiers out there that deserve consideration.

Not saying he's the best, but Daron Rhalves at least deserves a mention. And if were talking "all time" then older skiers should get a mention: Johnny Mosely, Doug Coombs, Jean Claude Killy, Scot Schmidt, Ingemar Stenmark.

Henrik Windstedt for sure is one of the illest, well-rounded skiers out there.

Tanner, Jon and Candide probably are the best though, in lots of aspects of the game.

Criteria really need to be sorted.

Best overall = Tanner Hall/ Candide
Best overall park= Tom Wallisch
Best Rails= Phil Casabon
Best jumps= Sammy Carlson
Best half pipe= Justin Dorey (my bet for 2014)

Best big lines= Shaun Petit
Best BC= Mark Abma

Most influential of all time: Shane Mcconkey

I'm just gunna put that out there as my personal preference and fuck da hate.
