The best? Everyone is good at different things. "The Best" is much to general, and I do not think that anyone here could answer this question.

How can you not know how to spell Tom Wallisch and consider yourself a part of the skiing and snowboarding community. You're a fake, Wskier, a fake.

This, plenty of proof in this thread.

A freeskier is NOT just a park skier, but someone who slays everything with skis on their feet.

Candide is the epitome of this, you simply can't argue.

He's really good that's for sure, but he's not the best. Every fucking british magazine/ski related news company specifically states he's "world #1" and it pisses me off.

Many will say Tom Wallisch, as he is good, but how would you define "best"? I mean Wally slays in slope but not much else. Then of course youve got guys like Sammy C who does good in slope and backcountry. It all depends on your definition of "best". That being said, if someone were to ask me to say who I think is the best skier, I would say Wally.

Candide, Tanner, Dane, and Sammy in terms of all around skiers.

Park? Wallisch or Bobby B probably.

The best freestyler is the guy that rips everything with a pair of skis. The best dont do it for money.

You're asking an incredibly broad question. Give us a certain area. But to me the guy who slays everything would be Sammy.

But he is, so why not state it?!

These news stories are for the general public, who generally dont know anything about freeskiing, so to have a world number 1 from the uk is kinda a big deal.
