2007 POWDER READER POLL: Vote now for your favorite skiers

Voting, like throwing your first 360, getting first chair, or making out in the gondy, is a rite of passage. Unfortunately, casting a ballot in America today usually amounts to selecting the person you dislike the least.

Luckily, there’s the 2007 Powder Reader Poll, where we ask our reading faithful to VOTE for their favorite skiers. It’s your chance to tell us who you think represents the best of our sport. It’s a positively joyous experience! No annoying campaign ads, no standing in line, and no confusion with those old hags at the voting precinct.

So stand up and be heard. From now until January 1, 2007, you can cast your vote for the 10 male and five female skiers you believe to be the best of the best. The athletes are listed alphabetically below. Just type in a name or letter to see the list, then make your selection.

Winners will be announced at the Seventh Annual Powder Video and Reader Poll awards show in Aspen, Colorado, on January 27. CLICK HERE TO VOTE!
