Skiing Nicknames?

[LineSki15]

the other thread got me thinking about different "terminology" you all may use out on the trail. Do you have crazy nicknames for conditions or specific trails or anything like that?

For example, "sugar" to describe manmade grannual-powder type now
or "death cookie" to describe a patch of ice on a trail

I'd love to hear more things like this

granuler..sugar snow is mad sweet and low
mashed potatoes..sloppy wet spring snow is mad applesauce
powder is Poe
fresh groomed is fresh cord
chunks of snow and ice are death cookies
mad goldilocks is perfect temperatures..25-40 degrees..not to warm not to cold just right..

I'll add some more later..

frozen mashed - what you get when you hit the hill too soon in the spring and the corn hasn't thawed.

Wait- frozen mashed is unthawed corn? Would soft bumps be biscuits and gravy? Variable conditions = mixed grill?

I bet you could describe an entire season in food terms.


Mmmm, biscuits and gravy...
