Yea that video proves Snowlover right....we have some serious posers in this forum!
It's actually kind of funny you wearing a helmet doing that super tight ec tree skiing. One wrong move and you're brain damaged with/without helmet. Obviously better to wear a helmet for that, but man that is some risk taking right there. I'm glad I can have a ton of fun without risking my life.

Nobody said it is not fun but not really all that special enough to promote it as a great example of powder skiing on a message board. Those other videos where they are skiing deep face shot blower powder are a MUCH better example of what a bit of pitch brings to the deep powder skiing experience. Simply requiring straightlining over the top is no more fun than skiing 3 inches of powder.
Sure it is, but it's not fun to watch.

That's me in the red coat and I'm 45. I think NEK is still in his 30s.
Why are you here then? Kids these days ... lol
But I don't get it. Isn't the whole point of your argument that you CAN'T ski powder on blues? You just like taking risks. Ok fine. What's your point? What you're doing is honestly kind of lame compared to the some of the extreme stuff I've seen on tv. Hell colouir is much more core than that glade skiing. I have fun skiing blues in powder. So do LOTS of other people. GET OVER IT.
If you didn't state you CAN'T ski powder on blues then there'd be no argument. Of course face shots and stuff in super steep terrain is fun for those that can do it. I never stated otherwise. THe only issue of contention is that you CAN'T ski deep pow and have a blast at a place like snow ridge in ny. You can and you can go more than walking speed.

Well happy birthday
Must be something about guys named Doug ...
The point of contention was never about that. It was about the fact that he said you can't ski blues with powder. That led me to believe he's never skied pow. Honestly, it's just plain wrong. How can something this silly take up 12 pages? I think some of you have hit your head on tree's.

I never said that... I think I've said that it is not as enjoyable. To clarify, 3" to maybe 8" can be fun on a Blue (depending on the characteristics of the Blue trail). Powder any deeper than that and you'll find me on the steeps on a black or in the trees.
