The importance of getting the goods when the goods are good to get

[Tonyr]

A few I know went to Alta/Bird..tried to ski deep powder as their first days on snow and got hurt..which ended their trip as soon as it started.
Thoughts...

I try to avoid going into the trees for just that reason when deep powder hits. I have all mountain skis that are not great in deep powder which makes it all the easier to get hurt. I know that way of skiing is definitely against the grain but when a big storm hits I'd rather stay on the wide open runs and not injure myself.

Ya need a quiver. You need the right tool for the job.

When big storm hits, there’s powder on the open run!

Rip them and lap them fast.

Only do trees and hike-to after the powder got chopped up.

Is this some sort of Texas Jerry logic?
