Top 20 Male Skiers of All Time

Hard to argue this list. However, I'm not sure you can talk about great all time skiers and not have Glen Plake on that list.

Great picture of Stein --- different style (obviously) but the skis are still WAY outside the body. Cool

I  would imagine Coach & MC will protest because they were not on the list, but you know how ski instructors are...

Funny how they consider that tree skiing, hell I could drive my truck thru dem trees

True. But you gotta admit that is a fun vid.  Least I think so.

100% agree! My comment was more jealousy than anything. The trees we ski around here are tighter than dicks hatband at times. Dunno about you but a little wiggle room now and then would be kinda nice.

Hmm
When I demoed his beautiful style I was vilified!!!!!
I AM ONE OF THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

peace and love....

I'd add Plake, Ted Ligeity and Mike Rogan 5 time Psia demo team member and US ski team coach to the list.  Mike is THE best skier teacher coach on the planet.

Brookie Dodge, Toni Sailer and Dick Dorworth...but a great list with no arguments

Nice. I actually had to look up Brookie Dodge as I'd never heard of him before.

Where are Hannes Schneider and Dick  Durrance ?  These two were pioneers in the US and Schneider was so famous we brought him over from Austria to start the sport in North Conway

Great list tho , except where the hell is CAMPSTER ???

I would add Seth. Big Bad Bumpin Brad should probably be on there too.

Every generation has there heros,Dick Durrance,Buddy Werner, and Dick Bueck are a few of mine.

Very race centric list, but Killy and Stein proved they were just plain cool overall skiers, especially Stein. A lot of racers, especially modern guys, are specialists in their craft, and barely leave the course. I had read once that Girardelli would not even attempt bumps - hated them. One wonders how some modern racers ski powder, considering their life training constantly on ice since, like, 12 years old.

Plake deserves to be on that list, big time.

I once skied behind Stein at Deer Valley for awhile. His hair was perfect, and stayed that way. Damn, that guy has style.

 No Mike Douglas changed Salomon and skiing forever with the twin tip. Most bump skiers  are overlooked and forgotten.

Ingemar will always be my top choice--the most winningest ski racer of all time. Plus, a true gentleman. Stein is also a class act. I met him a number of times over the years, and he is such a gracious individual.

I bet this guy would've been a blast to hang out with

I share his sense of humor --- farts are one of the funniest things ever
