Really, you haven't seen them? I'm talking about just one turn by one boarder, leaving a rut 3-4 inches deep and 10 feet long. They haven't ruined my day yet but I suppose I could catch an edge in one if I didn't see it coming.

Speaking of concentrating douchbags.....care to meet up to ski this week?
Rose snow is holding up great but the wind hold has kept them shut down a lot. If its not on wind hold tomorrow, I'm working the women's clinic.LOL!!!
Anyhow the next couple i'm at the wood i think due to higher elevation (snow), Saturday I'm blacked out up there. Sun/mon/tues ect...I'm open as long as any snow that falls is relatively cold, if not I'm going high. Should you guys decide to hit kwood let me know. It may be your best bet with snow levels going to 7000+ tomorrow and friday.
How is rose doing?

If you decide to hit Squaw/alpine one day, let me know, I can get yoga 1/2 of ticket. ($46)
I'll let you know what we're doing FridaySat I have tentative plans at Northstar on Saturday. If you come ton North Lake, bring a bag and stay the night at our house.
Damn! I feel like I can carve pretty freak'n hard. But a 4" deep trench on a groomer would be seriously impressive.
My only complaint about snowboards is the deep ruts they carve on groomers. If they make a difference in moguls, I couldn't tell because I stink so bad in them anyway. Generally, I want snowboarders around to buy tickets and help pay the bills.
I could take some photos, but I don't think I'll get out again this year. Of course you guys don't see what you leave behind you.
I heard snowboarders ruin moguls. Any truth to that rumor? :lol:
What I want to know is....what did skiers moan about before snowboards came around?

One thing I noticed when we were at Park City earlier this year was the lack of snow boarders compared to skiers. I'd estimate the ratio of snow boarders at 10%-20% or less. It really surprised us as here in southern VT I'd estimate it's closer to 40-50% snow boards.
We skied Sunday through Friday and there were lots of retired folks at the mountains. Maybe that made a difference? Or maybe Deer Valley and their anti-boarder mentality is rubbing off on PCMR and Canyons too?
Donno about all the arguments about attitude/danger/snow whatver, but clearly it changes the vibe or feel of the place to allow only skiers.. I think same would apply for boarder only if a resort goes in that direction. I think that having different types of places available is a good thing. Sad to miss out on that terrain if your only skill is not allowed, but since I know how to ski and board both it's a non-issue for me
I'm not sure what the 7 wood is good for. If I didn't have people meeting me on Saturday, I'd consider heading your way.
