I've heard the powder is better in Colorado.
Maybe, but there's less of it and it gets skied off quicker.

Then why are the Powder 8's held there each year?

Hey Mikey!

Right. We'll have to wait for Saemisch to chime in for the definitive
word, but if I was forced to have an opinion (reticent as I am to ever
pronounce an opinion) I would say it's because Powder Eights work better
in 10-12 inches of fluffy new as seen occasionally in Collyraido rather
than 1-2 meters of fluffy new as seen in Youtaw.

In any case you haven't really skied powder until you've turned in my
local stuff. Why, a skier can't hardly notice the stuff that passes for
powder in Youtaw and Collyraido, while our local stuff lets you know
it's there by wrestling you for the right to guide your skis. That
Sierra Cement is real powerful powder.
