sage killed it. He had the smoothest style in the top five, and spun both ways, and went inverted on his run. I guess thats why he gets paid to ski for aesthetic reasons...haha

i felt that sage had the best style and consistent run as the other top 3 maybe did a 360 or backflip. there was a 7 thrown in but it seemed kinda hucked. I missed his run today for superfinals but the guy who got first (drew tabke) seemed like launching himself as far as possible with maybe a grab but no spins. i thought sage utilized the mountain the best

thats why sage is film skier. Film skiers need to be able to charge super gnarly lines really hard. but more importantly they need to make mediocre lines (north baldy), and hard lines look really fun, by utilizing natural features and skiing super smoothly.


i get the feeling that sage would ski that same kind of run he did in the comp, every run even if he wasnt being judged. the guy is the best skier in the world.

ive never seen candide in AK. I honestly dont think he is close to the level that sage is at in AK. They are about even mini golfing and traditional big mtn skiing, and candide has sage in park.

Overall i would still say sage is currently the best skier.

Sage and candide are both awesome skiers when it comes to big mountains. To have Candide enter the FWT for the first time ever and win the overall title last year is pretty amazing. They both have different types of style with Candide trying to put a little park in the bc and big mountains while Sage has been throwing down off of natural hits and features for a long time in the middle of lines. I think Sage is a better AK skier compared to Candide as he attacks line hard and takes the routes that are super gnarly. They're both inspirational when it comes to big mountain skiing.

There was a guy that did a back off a cliff up higher that had the best finals run.  I wish they had his video on there still.
