Hey where' planb420 at? You know he's ripping pow at sundown all the time. According to you jackass's nothing on sundown is rideable in pow! It should be groomed flat!! Totally! You need a cliff to ride pow for all you HARDCORE NARLY POWDER ASSASISNS THAT STICK YOU NOSE UP AT ANYTHING LESS THAN A 50 DEGREE SLOPE

You don't know how to ski pow you wawa douche....who you kidding? LOL
Hold up. I'm saying and was VERY clear in saying SOME area's of wolf creek are the same slope as wachusett.
I don't understand, you're saying folks here can't ski powder, but that they are powder snobs and will only ski where it's steep?
Sundown has a nice pitch btw ...
It's the same as wawa.(gunny is the only one that's a little steeper)

There are GPS apps, trackers, a pedometer might even work. So ask your mommy and daddy to get you any of those things, test it out, then you can come back and let us know how fast you can ski wa in 2' of powder. My guess is you won't break 10mph.
Cool name calling, god I miss high school.
I'm saying their people who like to sound hardcore....ie posers.

Well, not all the time.
You won't break 10mph? HAHAHA.....That's jogging speed. Dude just pull up youtube videos of people skiing way faster than that on blue trails in new england in a foot or two of snow.
You're not very bright are you?
lol...true

EVERY mountain has trails like that even the resorts you rattled off. Hell, Kicking Horse probably has the most vert on a per acre basis and they also have trails like this. The amount of water in snow on a mountain in central MA is a lot different than one at 11,000 ft in CO. That makes all the difference in the world.

He's using thin ski's....He'd be floating better with wider ski's. Looks like a blast to me! 30 plus inches. Skip to 1:14 so you can tell how fast the guys going. At least 25mph as he passes the guy wih the gopro.

LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN!
Oh and Looking a these videos, some of snow ridge is flatter than wawa and this is DEEP DEEP SNOW. Not just a foot. The key is to get momentum and get moving. Once you do that, then you're fine. Please rent a pair of hellbents and mount on back line. You could ski down the bunny hill at wachusett in 3 feet. Would you be going slowly? Yeah, but it's a bunny hill.

If you know any resort manager on the east coast where they groom a ton of snow. ASK them why they groom the majority of trails. I just recently called a few because I was curious. They will tell you it's because their clients don't know how to ski powder since we don't get it much. They groom so people who know nothing about skiing powder and think you need colouir in jackson to ski powder can get ski their groomers and aren't falling all over the place and can get down the mountain and don't have to take off their ski's and walk,
Now some places are actually being a real ski area(thank god not some gaper resort b.s.) still leave a lot of their trls ungroomed(including sundown, which usually leaves half their trails untouched, while still leaving a few groomers for those that want it...they do a good job usually. Their green trail is FLAT and would be unrideable in a foot of untouched)
