one thing i would like to add is that plake started as a mogul skier, and was the hero for seth and his generation of skiers. it seems that there is always a couple people who stand above, first it was schmidt and plake, then seth and mcconkey, now it seems sage and pollard are leading the next generation of backcountry skiing. one thing about this is now there are some girls that are able to put together some gnar lines, though ingrid is definitely head and shoulders above all the rest and can keep up with the guys, i think that this is huge for the womens end because she is the first in any aspect of the sport to transcend the gender barrier. but back to seth, no, no one will ever attain SETH status, because he brought it to another level, but as new generations of skiers come there will always be a select feew that rise above and attain that legend status and be looked at as inovators in the sport.
