Tom Wallisch (/ˈwɔːlɪʃ/ WAW-lish;[2] born July 22, 1987, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is a professional freeskier.
[needs update][4] Wallisch was discovered when he entered and subsequently won the 2007 Level 1 SuperUnknown video contest.
Known for being an early adopter of extremely baggy (XXL+) ski clothing as a fashion statement, Wasllisch is also credited with popularizing the concept of "Afterbang."
Wallisch is only the third skier in history to win Powder's coveted Reader Poll and the second to take it back-to-back (2011, 2012).
The short film "Skier's Discretion" (4Bi9 Media) explained the injury and Wallisch's attempts to qualify for the games.
