Which pro snowboarder would be like which skier. I can think of

Mark McMorris/Candide Thovex

Magnus Graner/Scotty Stevens

Craig McMorris/Jesper Tjader
 
Jed Anderson / Clayton Vila

Dylan Thompson / Cam Riley

Lucas Magoon / Ahmet Dadali

Andy Parry / Anyone on Adidas
 
This is an interesting topic, but I will be 100% honest, I don't know as many boarder names as I do skiing ones. haha
 
I would honestly say Travis Rice/Candide I know both are hard to compare to anyone but both revolutionized thier sports in similar ways

Lol What?! I am very interested to learn how you think Candide and Mark are similar. Outside of X games multi discipline wins I am having a hard time making the connection.

IMO, T Rice is the only snowboarder you can relate to Candide. There are others that have done great things in snowboarding but T Rice has been honored for his riding at super park back when he was a young man, essentially invented a new trick (double back rodeo 10,12 grab switch), won several X games medals and then went on to be the first to really put some heat down into a lot of big mountain lines.

McMorris has done a lot of hard competition tricks and been on some bc trips. There is no comparison.
 
Stale Sandbech = Oystein Braten

Markus Cleveland = Nico Porteous

Rene Rinnekangas = Matej Svancer

and I'm pretty sure Will Wesson must've attended a Yawgoon seminar at some point

That's because there are no snowboarders, just tourists riding snowboards.

Sorry, that was mean. I'm just old and salty af.

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but wasn’t Yobeat a snowboard forum when it was still a thing?

you must be on drugs with these comparisons. Mark mcmorris was Sean Pettit before Sean Pettit was Sean Pettit.
