Powdered sugar may be good but yesterday I skied granular sugar and I can't stand that stuff.

"Machine groomed granular" which is marketingspeak for "We have no lower classification than this"

The next step down is closed.

A more serious condition than Dust on Crust.

Hmmm .. to me Death Cookies are not in large quantities. I think of these more as little gems that were missed or spit out by a groomer on an otherwise predictable surface condition. They're the visible things that could strip a ski from you as apposed to Snow Snakes which are responsible for unexplained crashes.

Corn, marbles, baseballs and such would be more the condition a trail is left in after a groomer tries to break up the refreeze following a rain.

Frozen granular means bring your ice skates (and sharpen their edges).

Good one, never heard that one before. We have one here at the homestead "Pocono Pavement" , sounds like the same stuff.
