who would you take in a ski-off. :lol: In their prime for the hell of it.

I'll say Schmidt cause i think plake would end up killing himself.

Schmidt for consistency... But Plake is more fun to watch... More airtime...

I heard that Glen Plake will be at Mount Snow this weekend. He'll be filming a segment of his show Reel Thrills that shows on RSN. Maybe someone could ask him for a ski off?
I hope I see him up there this weekend.

What about Hattrup. I don't think Hattrup could take Schmidt in the moguls but he was (and is) an unbelievable all mountain skier.

No comparison, both ate great in their own rights. No need to choose, just enjoy.

Schmidt hands down in totally extreme terrain and Plake booming through the bumps on 210's.I actually took 1 run with Schmidt in Valdez Ak 12 years ago.Made me look like a joey.

Chinese Downhill. Is only way.

Enjoy them both, and it's hard to pick. But that being said, it's Plake. No doubt.
