East or west skiers

East Coast you forgot, Jon Brogan, Sean Jordan.

Anyway, from what I've seen, East: Rails West: Jumps

That's it..
 
Neither, Midwest FTW!!! We got Hornbeck and, and, uh, yea... Our "mountians" are a whooping 200-300 vertical feet, and only people from the midwest, specifically Mt. Holly in Michigan, can hold a "big air" comp on a 45 foot jump. So screw steep and deep, midwest is whats good!!!!!!
 
Naming a pro from your region doesn't make it any better than another region.East vs. West in a nutshell: West=More/better all around skiers and BC skiers, more relaxed styles. Most park skiers seem to be slightly better at jumps

East=More/better park and urban skiers, more aggressive styles. Most park skiers seem to be slightly better at rails.

Both are different, really hard to compare and say one is better in terms of the skiers coming out of them IMO./thread
 
I'm from the west and I say East wins, they ski absolute shit snow (from what my parents stories, they are both Vermont grown) and that makes them able to ski anything else very well. The only thing the West has over the east is big mountain, and thats a small aspect to an overall skiers ability, so overall East wins from my perspective.
 
but see thats just a typical west coast opinion. the east caost has ok parks but thats not all we ski. i think that the east puts out better all around skiers because there is so much ice on the east that the west doesnt have just way more variable conditions on the east which means that the skiers are more variable too. but i would agree that east coast skiers do ski a ton of park but eh well rounded park skier can go and shred the mashed potato bumps, straight ice and heavy wet pow.

east coast = better skiers all around

west coast = better park and pow skiers (rarely pow on the east)
 
Holy fuck you kids are stupid.

and to the dumb ass who said they dont consider Pennsylvania the east coast................HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED AT A MAP

 
I mean, technically, PA isn't on the east coast. It's landlocked and what not, so there's that. And it's also not indicative of what is normally considered east coast skiing, i.e. ME, NH, NY, VT and the mountains there. PA is much closer to what midwest skiing is like than normal east coast skiing.
 
In terms of skiing, yes, they're much closer to what is typical midwest skiing than they are to what is typical east coast skiing
