If I had the money for a go pro....I'd take a video of me next time at mount snow going down blues with no trouble at all. Hell forget that, I'll take a video of me getting first tracks at CT ski areas in a foot +

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

hmmmmmm.....what does that have to do with slope angle? Much of wolf creek(OBVIOUSLY some parts are steeper, but it's all rideable and ungroomed) is not steeper than wawa's trails. Wolf creek is flatter than alta....alta is flatter than snowbird...which is flatter than jackson

Oh look it's Conifer Connection!

:lol: I've never skied with MMW, but I have with a lot of the folks on this board and for the most part they all ski at high level. Know-it-alls tend to disappoint ...

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 ...

Hey why am I arguing with moron's? Less people on the trail.

Don't go near any blue trails if there's powder on them at mount snow. YOU'LL GET STUCK!! IT'S NOT RIDEABLE

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.

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?

Hold up. I'm saying and was VERY clear in saying SOME area's of wolf creek are the same slope as wachusett. View attachment 10170

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.

These are from the TRUE UP VERTICAL site stats :

for TUG HILL region of NYS
Macauley Mtn. 633 vert
Snow Ridge 500 VERT
Woods Valley 500 VERT
Dry Hill 300 VERT

The Ridge has enough steep to handle deep LES pow , have skied it for 4 plus decades

DRY HILL!!!...My real home mountain! I gre up in Watertown, NY. Seasons pass for kids was around $75. I did LOTs of night skiing there!

Snow ridge, ny

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BojksnpwdAg
Skip to 1:15


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)
