Pirmin Zurbriggen was the top FIS skier of all time, in my humble opinion. His 40 wins in FIS races is a distant seventh on the all-time list among men, but he won races in every discipline, won four all-around World Cup titles, and only competed for nine years before he retired in his prime at the young age of 27.
yes I learned about longevity and staying power when I met my wife. LOL
