You already know who it is, but for the noobs that don't, Tom Wallisch. Why? First and foremost his natural born (effortless)style and grace,crazzy skills in the park/urban scene, tireless work ethic, fun sense of humor, kind(always smiling) and generous of his time spent with his fans,and finally....the sheer fact that he was a late bloomer in the ski industry, growing up as a weekend worrier, and if I'm not mistaken, didn't start hitting the big park features until college! He has accomplished so much in a short period of time, and is proof that if you have the passion and desire, you don't have to grow up in the Mts to find success and reach your dreams! You just have to love what you do.

Sammy Carlson and Andreas Hatveit, basically their awesome at skiing in park, urban, and pow. But mainly their attitude towards other people and are just stoked on life

-Charley Ager because he just goes ham. It always looks like hes about to eat shit as hes going huge, then he just stomps the shit out of it.
-Chris Benchetler because I just love his style, as well as the tricks/lines that he throws down. So big. So smooth. And that one butter in his self edit. that was fucking fresh.
-Pep Fujas because I just like his style and he's a very versatile skier. Also, the 90 revert 270 was dope.
-Eric Pollard because he's very creative, and he started nimbus, and he can stomp the shit out of anything switch.
-Sage Cattabriga-Alosa because he charges so hard, can ski anything, and also has great BC style.

Those are my top 5 right now, but if I had to name 1, I'd probably have to go with Benchetler, because he can just throw down so much, in so many different types of terrain, with such filthy style.

In case you can't tell, I'm kind of a powder rat.
