Myself? I'd rather crash and explode in a crevasse three-feet-deep in powder and have to swim out.

Skiing, I tell my adult peer group, is nothing more than grown-ups playing in the snow.
For those who require a more lofty goal - it's good exercise, conditioning, strength training, tree-hugging, outdoors at all cost, back to nature experience. But for me, it's just playing....
Based on my very limited experience, powder is harder to ski in but easier to fall on...

BTW, any reports? I'm seeing all kinds of stuff on the radars but no precip out of my office window.
