Leave your list below..

Here is mine..

1) JF Houle

2)JONAH WILLIAMS

3) John Spriggs

4) Jordan Clarke

5) Corey Vanular
 
JF is back in the spotlight with his new film.

Jonah won superunknown so no.

John Spriggs will always be underrated but still amazing.

Jordan Clarke sure but he likes doing his own thing with his group of friends in BC. (Also his brother Kelsey is a dope filmer/friend.)

Also you could say Corey is one of the most underrated of the last 10 years.
 
Jonah isn't really underrated considering super unknown and SLVSH and stuff like that. Springs is a boss. Corey will forever be underrated. Also I don't think anyone knows how really good Andy Parry actually is, but maybe I'm wrong. Also I feel like the people who don't win Superunknown get forgot about too much, all of them are still stellar skiers. Level 1 really needed Dom Laporte but Im glad he's with the Tabernacle Pack

Id say

1) Mack Jones

2) Jake Doan (haven't seen much of him lately)

3) JF Houle - hopefully he will become more appreciated after his film

4) Tim McChesney - never hear much about him, but spits urban fire

5) My boys Ben Smith and Ethan Swadburg - can't wait for these guys to get into some films and stuff. Pumped for the Golden Age

My list is my list.. as your list is yout list

Post your top 5..don't talk about my list or 1 person .. post a top 5 list of people who need more attention counting from 2015 season only..
 
For me, Brendan Reid and Quinn Wolferman (though he's on the move) are two park savages that absolutely tear shit up but don't get huge noise. I reeeally want to see more content outta BReid, his dubs and swap game, the style, that kid's just nuts. Keegan's my favorite skier to watch, but he isn't really underrated any more, he's had the comeup of the year no doubt.

Quinn for sure. He spits mad fire. I want him to go far.
 
Frej Jönsson for sure. The guys a style technician and yet it seems like nobodys heard of him. Joffery pollet-villards definitely on my list as well, along with Teal Harle and Forster Meeks.
 
Kai Mahler never gets much attention but has been killing it for years with big tricks like his opp carve dubs

He's not really underrated though, everyone knows he is fuckin sick

He's the only skier in this thread whose name I don't recognize. So probably underrated.

Also can someone link a good edit or two of his?
 
Thayne Rich - Havent seen the 4rnt movie yet this year but he broke his jaw earlyish season so I know that limited his shots. He could easily have a pow segment in any large film company and it would fit right in.

Mike Briggs - Probably one of the best all around am's out, most people have seen his urban footage but you wouldn't believe what he does on pow jumps and at alta/bird.

Calvin Hawley - Does a ton of soul shredding so not a lot of footage but if you ever run into him at Snowbird or Alta you will know what I am talking about, hit an insane double in the KF team edit this year as well.

Brad Bulzan - Still dropped one of the better super unknowns of all time a few years back and got no respect for it and has had a rough last couple years with injuries.

Bmack - One of the most creative and stoked people there is, his segment in Finesse was one of my favorite segments ever.
 
That tyler duncan nordics edit that dropped was nuts, and he kills it in the carinthia edits. rarely hear is name tho
 
Paul Marik is pretty dope. I haven't heard much of him lately though.

Sig Tveit!

Segment in Less was one of the only ones I really liked...

Less started out so banger . . . then the longer it got the shittyier it became. and i like long skiing movies. O level on bring back the OG attitude
 
Topher Baldwin, Rob Bitner, Anti Ollila, Noah Albaladejo, Matt Walker

Topher put out some edits this year that were fucking on another level. the layback/handdrag slides are too ill. Rob has that classic style with a bit of that reckless abandon/fuck it huck it that gets me hyped.

I know Anti and Noah had big breakout years relative to their exposure/coverage before, but I still think they're both underrated.

Seems like he had sort of slowed down in terms of his skiing for a few years, but he had some heaters this year, especially in his games of slvsh, and I just have to shoutout his contribution to slvsh because it's one of the coolest things in skiing.

Honorable Mention: Vinnie Cash

I know he gets love, but he's just one of the best/most innovative skiers on the planet and doesn't get a lot of looks when compared to many others.

Honorable Mention 2: Will Berman
 
Quinn Wolferman is kinda underrated, I never hear anything about him, but when he comes out with an edit, it is so sick. He will probablly not be underrated for so long because from what I remember, he is pretty young so he is in the upcoming generation of beast proskier I guess
 
1.Tyler Duncan (best rodeos in the game)

2. Sam Zahner

3. TOPHER from hood crew

4.Luc Brown (watch KeeganKil's Vids he's so sick)

5. I feel like Mike Cappola is super underrated

Ik a lot of these guys have been posted but its my top 5

Please tell me you guys aren't serious. Paul and his crew, Unaffiliated have been hard at work here in Wisconsin dropping some dope edits mostly in the streets. However, It is cool to see his name on a thread like this with so many other dope skiers. In case you guys have missed their new shit it's all on their Vimeo:https://vimeo.com/unaffiliated
