Best big mountain skier

I've always thought that if you combine Hoji's ability to choose the line that looks ballsy, yet playful, and combine it with MacIntosh's ability to go full throttle down gnarly exposed lines, it would be the ultimate.

 
im just gonna drop this here. this is still some of the gnarliest, burliest POV footage i have seen. This is all from 4 years ago too. for those who lack the rage, turn your speakers down.

 
ian mcintosh is an animal, Skis insanely fast and stomps the shit out of some of the largest airs I've seen. I'd put his stomping capabilities close to hugos when he was in his prime. hugos focused segment still blows my mind. Hoji is just like a cat, picks out the hairiest lines, and makes them look like soo much fun, just skis them so smoothly, whereas other guys skiing makes you think "I would be terrified if I was where they are."(ie ian mcintosh)Basically what I'm getting at, is there isn't a best, just different styles of shredding. Give ian and sage the same mountain, and sage probably won't be able to do what ian does, and ian probably won't be able to do what sage does. Both big mountain, but by no means even close to the same.
 
I have to go with Windstedt. lots of FWT wins, big air and slope style wins, gnarly filming in AK, and a junior world champion at FIS moguls. but there is lots of guys that throw down hard. Like Sage, Candide Abma... you name it.
