And those who are trying to tell me I don't need a powder board,
apparently
have never seen real powder. I wish you came to Mammoth on Jan 1st,
when chair 9
opened after two weeks of dump and there was more than 6 feet of pure
powder.
I wish I saw you there on your short board digging yourself out for an
hour.
And yes, Mammoth have those kind of conditions quite often, it's not
just for "one day".


I've never been in 6 feet of bottomless powder, but I have been in 3 feet
and gotten stuck many times. what a bummer that is!

Here at Hood, you can easily have 3 feet of fluff even with a 10 inch storm,
'cause it all gets blown from the ridges into the bowls. Not the longest
of powder runs, but a blast nonetheless. And it happens quite often.
