I am a POWDER skier. Period.

Powder is great...when you can get it. But every so often, we get a strom like we had last week. Makes it worth the wait.

I get being a powder hound if your a backcountry guy like JD. But lift serviced powder make skiing too much like a rat race/work. Getting up early, sitting in traffic, waiting in long lines, competing with your fellow skiers and racing to your favorite lines before their tracked out...very tiring.

I guess what I mean is I like powder, but I don't like the general "powder culture," if there is such a thing. Everyone needs to relax and have a beer or a hong bit.

^ I miss my old Apogee... that was the smoothing hong I ever bit;-)


I primarily ski at one mountian and will ski whatever is there. Of course I love powder but the only bad ski days are the days I'm not skiing.

This is what I do & I am good at it!! Nothing gets me motivated like powder. I'll drive at night for hours in a storm to get to my beloved powder in the morning. For me powder is the ultimate skiing experience:-o:-o

BB is dominating the powder old school style and rackin it on the staircases.

Dis is dominating his driveway and figuring out how to get back on KillingtonZone.

Good way of putting it. I don't know all the history of the Dis on K-zone, but as BB, while a little whacky, he's has been fine over here...

Rack it! :lol:

it is really not that difficult or a rat race to find untracked. a little hiking a little exploring and usually there is powder a plenty.

i can guarantee i find fresh this weekend at k without any issue.

Once your at the top your fine...it is a rat race before that though...the drive to the mountain, the access road, the parking lot, the LIFT LINES. Normally sane, considerate people turn into nut cases with only 1 care in the world.

That's true but mainly just at K1. Start the day on Skyeship and hit up the South Ridge for some untracked, quiet, secluded goodnes..

Maybe the OP was referring only to Kmart, but my comments were meant regarding everywhere...I think it is even worse out west sometimes.

Everyone like powder the best, but I can have plenty of fun on non-powder days too, and I do not get consumed with frantically trying to find the infamous "untracked powder."

Its no different than trying to look for the best line through the moguls. Some lines are better than others.

 

[witch hobble]

Most people need a bump or two after that initial rush of the powder frenzy wears off.

 

[bigbog]

i'm an icy hard pack guy myself. drive as little as possible to ski whatever it is that place has to offer.

but the good news is we both enjoy skiing!!

Boilerplate....boilerplate gmcunni....lol.

 

[RootDKJ]

i'm a powder, hardpack, icy, packed powder, raining, snowing, overcast, bluebird, -10 degrees to 60 degrees skier. I don't care what it is as long as i'm skiing.
