probably the vikings

they primarily focused on rape, murder, and pillage, making their skiing neither for profit, recognition, or style.

Sure it does, biathlon. All jokes aside, it kind of looks fun.

Prob somewhere it's dark 20+ hours a day and -30 degrees all the time. Not to say the guys from the Mid-west aren't passionate. Hardest ski scene in the continental U.S. for sure.

I'm going to hear a ton of shit for this but it's racing, what ever the fastest form of racing is...downhill presumably?

I'm 100% positive that cavemen were racing up and down on seal skin covered planks in Scandinavia.

Purest form of skiing is for sure AT. Combines both the original purpose (moving places across snow) and the current reason it’s popular (riding down slopes).
As far as downhill skiing I would say big mountain. Riding natural terrain that shouldn’t be feasible is amazing.
As far as dedication I would definitely give you Midwest. Nothing is more dedicated than riding flat, icy slopes in -30 degree weather
