  • I find it difficult to compare skiers from different eras. The material has changed and evolved. Slope preparation is currently different and is also difficult to compare. There is no question that there have been many outstanding personalities who have inspired many people through skiing. They had a charisma that was not only defined by fame and success.

  • Ingemar Stenmark. What a legend. The whole country of Sweden stopped for a while every time he raced. The way he managed to tackle the most difficult surfaces and courses in his very characteristic panther like style actually gave us goosebumps. Really miss these years of top alpine racing. Thanks.

  • Very shocked five time overall WC champion Marc Giradelli did not make the list. Same with four time overall champ Pirmin Zurbriggen. In addition to being second and third, respectively, in number of overall World Cup titles, both were great all-around skiers, with wins in every Alpine discipline over the course of their careers (with the exception of Parallel, which was not run during their careers). None of the other Men who have won at least three World Cup titles have won in every event that was competed in their careers. Hirscher, in the lead with 8 titles, never won a downhill or combined event. Gustav Theoni, tied third with Zurbriggen, never won a downhill. Phil Mahre and Stenmark, both tied with three titles, never won downhills or super-G (super-G being added as an event right near the end of their careers).

    • Just posted my comment with the exactly same thoughts and found yours. Zurbriggen was something like Pete Sampras of tennis, not including him is a very odd choice and for me personally an offense. The same goes for arguably the most versatile skier of all time Marc Girardelli. All skiers in the list are amazing, but these two giants simply must not be omitted.

I argue the label greatest *skiers* (not downhill or technical specialists) should be for the few ones who won races in all the disciplines. My own number 1 among those few, is Zurbriggen. Girardelli won one more Cup because he was active longer, but Zurbriggen had the sheer class that left you in awe. Bode Miller is close, with Thoeni and very few others.

Kudos, though for putting Lasse Kjus up there. He competed in all events in Vail 1999 and made it top two in every event. Had a lot of health problems ruining many seasons but had a ‘feeling’ that is hard to describe. (Both Kjus and Aamodt have no doubt Stenmark was the greatest ever, btw).

  • Where you from? Specially Bode Miller feels like a reach. He obviously was a spectacel all or nothing rider, which is fun to watch No Zurbriggen is crazy! Excpected him in the top 5! He’s probably thr most important skier for the development of the sport. Alberto Tomba feels also missing, but some italiens probably will remind you 😉

  • Weird that Aamodt and Kjus get so much flak. Clearly the most versatile/complete alpinists on this lists, which otherwise consist mostly of specialists(hence they won overall WC many times, most-winning olympians of all time etc)

  • I would certainly put Zurbriggen and Girardelli on my top ten. The battle of dh vs slalom or gs will go on forever. The combined discipline never worked that out. Stenmark is totally ok as numero uno, Hirscher is my nr 2 and Maier no 3. But then again, we all know that Shiffrin is the boss.

  • I have a results based rating that counts only world cup results - an not, like ski-db, olympics and world championships, trying to make the incomparable comparable. According to this, the most accomplished male skiers to date are: 1 Ingemar Stenmark SWE 2 Marcel Hirscher AUT 3 Marc Girardelli LUX 4 Pirmin Zurbriggen SUI 5 Hermann Maier AUT 6 Aksel-Lund Svindal NOR 7 Gustav Thoeni ITA 7 Alberto Tomba ITA 9 Benjamin Raich AUT 10 Stephan Eberharter AUT Franz Klammer is not in the top 20 as he did only downhill, however, as the best downhiller ever, he deserves an honorable mention. Marco Odermatt will be in the top 10 in a couple of years if he continues to ski like this. Henrik Kristoffersen is also close to the top 10. The best Americans are Phil Mahre and Bode Miller as ## 14/15 respectively. The top 10 women as of today are: 1 Annemarie Moser Proell AUT 2 Lindsey C. Vonn USA 3 Mikaela Shiffrin USA (active) 4 Vreni Schneider SUI 5 Katja Seizinger GER 6 Renate Goetschl AUT 7 Hanni Wenzel LIE 8 Anja Paerson SWE 9 Maria Riesch GER 10 Erika Hess SUI Hence Shiffrin isn't #1 yet, but the top 3 are very close and Shiffrin likely will be #1 by the end of this season. Lara Gut and Petra Vlhova have good chances to end their careers in the top 10.

    • There are too many great all-rounders to include Klammer. Even he later admitted he mostly won on aggression over technical skill. Once really strong technical downhillers like Podborski and younger Austrians appeared he wasn't competitive. It's ridiculous that Shiffrin isn't on this list.

    • ​@@dansprague2Klammer was extremely dominant for three seasons, winning once 10 downhills in a row, often with a lead of one or two seconds. He lost dominance not for technical reasons but psychology, first time after the grave accident of his brother. Among ten skiers I would always include Klammer.
