I'd compare Travis Rice to CR Johnson or Pep Fujas.  In both cases you have someone who can kill it in big mountains, hit BC kickers, mix tricks into big mountain lines, and has comp success.  Travis, like CR, started out as more of an x-games guy but eventually went more in the big mountain direction.  Also, Travis grew up in Jackson, CR grew up in Squaw, a big part of the reason both guys have great mountain skills as well as great park skills.
